Ruf Dug & Dan Hope have been working on Rainy Heart together for years - as far as I'm aware, the venture is something to do with high-end audio, novel experiences and repurposing spaces - I have a feeling there's more to it than that, but I wouldn't want to assume.
They have been working with Abby Barker from Bruntwood to create interesting community happenings for the people of Stretford in beloved places steeped in history and memory; in this case, it was an old Boots in Stretford Mall.
Abby is an incredibly talented artist with a penchant for situationist situations, and it was absolutely lovely to collaborate with her, Dan and Simon on Rainy Heart: A Repeat Prescription.
They got me involved to amp up the visual experience and collaborate on semi-nonsensical pseudo-useful informational diagrams which accompanied some of the excellent and surreal yet practical copywriting Abby had been working on.
I'll let a far better written article from Kyle MacNeill describe more about the event itself, and I'll focus on writing about what I did as that's what I know best.
