GIANT ROBOT GALLERY X DANI KAWAII

GIANT ROBOT GALLERY X DANI KAWAII

A collection of pieces for the ‘KILN' show at the Giant Robot Gallery located on Sawtelle Blvd in Los Angeles, CA. Work included the reveal of Kinuko, the first original DANI KAWAII character deeply inspired by grandmother, Mary Iwami.

KINUKO

Kinuko’s initial form as a mountain draws on the Shinto beliefs of mountains as sacred: a way to articulate and capture the “grounding and comforting” fortitude of a natural earthen structure through a deliberately crafted earthen medium.
