After having the privilege of seeing Ms Grace Jones live at the electric picnic, i am now completely besotted with her. She and visionary director Chris Cunningham (he possessed of rich, twisted imagination and extraordinary talent) have collaborated on a piece for Dazed and Confused magazine.
Cunningham was inspired be an earlier piece of his called Rubber Johnny (Warning:Disturbing Content) and he digitally morphed Jones to reveal a much darker side to her. Grace Jones has never been one to shy away from experimenting with her image. Expressing a fearless attitude when it came to the piece “It’s not fashion, it’s an anti-fashion shoot," she told Tim Noakes "He’s shooting me like art"
Cunningham revelled in the piece "For me, Grace has the strongest iconography of any artist in music. She’s definitely the most inspiring person I’ve worked with so far"
