So here we are working towards the PaoPao Nest Show at Alternative Gallery in Monterey, CA. We also decided to do a collaborative paintings. We have painted together back in 2003 and it was fun, but this time it was much much more fun because I think we both got better at painting and now we know each other much more! so it was easier to collaborate and share our vision together!
We found 3 beautiful Japanese Prints near my house at the thrift store and start drawing on top of it. So I guess it's a collaboration with 3 people. with one mysterious Japanese Print maker :-) Can you tell who did what???
Me and Fumiha started to collaborate as a "PaoPao," back in 2003. And this year we had a show invitation from Alternative Cafe Gallery in Monterey California. So we started to do a collaboration! For this show we wanted to make a nice " PaoPao Nest", so we started our first nest idea.
First idea was to make kind of a Igloo type of Onion shaped nest in plastic.... but after sawing all together and try it inside, we realized that it was too hot for a summer, so we decided to make an open nest!
Super Hot summer days and nights, me and fumiha made friends with felts and yarn. hehehe Finally it started to take a shape!
