Media Studio Progress

Yesterday the vinyl wall murals destined for the Media Studio bath arrived from Chicago. We selected a delightful work of art by our S. Rajam, a coconut grove in which a villager is drawing water (bath, get it?) from a kineru, a village well. If you have never seen one of these in action, the man walks back and forth on a beam made from a coconut tree. As he steps forward, the bucket drops into the water, and as he steps back, the bucket rises to be emptied.

You can see in the slideshow this art transformed into waterproof vinyl which will adorn three of the walls, with a giant mirror on the basin side, so one will feel surrounded by coconut trees, which, by the way are just a few feet away outside the Media Studio!

Now we can plan for the installation, after leaving it for a few days to acclimate to our Hawaiian humidity.

The small bath is here in the center, concealed by a secret door hidden by lava rock.

This is the full art.

And here is how the three walls will be divided.

The team in Chicago sent some photos of the work in progress. Here it is being printed.

And then laminated to the vinyl which is 1\/8th inch thick.

A close-up of the art.

And the entire printed piece finished and laid out on the floor in Chicago.

A creative room design for a creative tropical team.
