It was a pleasure to work with both Pilar Lastra and The Margarita Ball.

My most recent art project was inspired after seeing the innovative art project by Swiss artist Marcel “Sala” Salathe of One Thousand Paintings. Here is Sala speaking at Google about Onethousandpaintings.com which has become a global art project that has received worldwide media coverage (BBC, Wired, BoingBoing, and many others) Sala will tell the story behind the project that started as a thought experiment in the heart of Europe, and took him on a trip around the world, eventually bringing him to Mountain View - Googletown.

Oshiguma is a Japanese form of body imprinting. This highly valued art form is created from cloth (often silk) pressed on to a Kabuki actors face at the end of a performance to take the imprint of his makeup. The Kabuki actor peels off the silk to reveal the oshiguma, a perfect mirror image of the actor face make-up in that particular role on that particular day. This procedure is likely to be repeated everyday for a month long run, and when the face imprints are completely dry, the actor signs, dates, and stamps them with his personal seal.
