A Clearing in the Clouds
Maki Tamura, Nicholas Nyland and Saya Moriyasu
"A Clearing in the Clouds," - our collaboration at the ACT Theatre windows in Seattle in the spring of 2011 is the starting point for this print project. The diverse influences acting upon the local cultural ecology - Asian and Northwest Coast Indian art, jet-age Modernism and the NW mystics - have continued being our inspiration. We designed the pattern called "Northwest chinoiserie" - oversized, invasive blackberries ramble about cloud-lofted space needles and cottages adorned with orca whales.
