Tabaimo Art Response

Tabimo’s creates her work by first hand drawing what she wants or feels, then continues to scan it then finishes it by filling it through digital media. She then uses the entire to building to showcase her work.  She uses both her personal experiences and social issues as inspiration for her work. With this she creates an abstract narration of the way she see’s things.

It is hard to say whether Tabimo’s  work is successful or not. She says that she only carries the 50% of the responsibility as the artist.  The other half, the viewer is responsible for.  There isn’t really an understandable or singular mood. There  are culture differences, it is hard to fully understand the artist’s intention. Furthermore, it is hard to see the artist perspective. However because she says that the viewer has half the responsibility, her art allows for different interpretations.

Tabaimo uses different media to enhance her narration and to fully involve her viewers. In that sense it is successful.  As she said, she doesn’t focus much on the characters, but rather the narrative and plot. By using the whole building, she is able to lead her viewers through her whole story. In addition, one of her concepts were that social media and society these days, such as the internet is always watching.  By surrounding the viewer with all her media creations, it highlights the idea that someone is always watching, and that we our constantly surrounded by media. Likewise, it’s like we can see through her brain by watching all her creations.
