Tabaimo

Part of the appeal of Tabaimo's work is that it challenges the viewer to fill in the blanks. Her work envelops some aspect of routine life, such as the kitchen or a public bathroom, but incorporates a surreal element in order to provoke a response Through a surreal mundane, Tabaimo instigates a way to approach . More than anything, Tabaimo combines a number of media in order to create her exhibits. For instance, she drew the line art of her hands. She then scanned the art to her computer and filled it with color and details. Finally, she uses a circular physical exhibit to surround the viewer with the art she's created. This three-dimensional envelopment of the viewer, in combination with her hand drawn animation, is what brings the audience into the art, as she says the audience is 50% of the art, and drives them to question what the piece may be about.
