What is the Tamiao Project?
The Tamiao Project is a fun way for me to connect with my ancestors. I am of mixed ancestory, but due to colonization, slavery and the frequent movement of peoples I only have a few verbal accounts of who my ancestors were. I use this project as a way to connect with them.
What are Tamiao?
Tamiao are little cloud creatures I created a while ago while doodling in the margins of my workboos and notes in middle school. Each Tamiao is meant to be remnants of a passed spirit and a little bit of magic. They're super colorful and cute!
Fun fact, Tamiao exist in the very first story I created "Helix". I've incorporated them in some way in every subsequent story I've created, building my own universe.
Wisp, the first Tamiao I drew.

The ultimate dream of my project is to one day host a gallery show of hundreds of small ceramic Tamiao, all living together on a huge glass tree sculpture with small intricate details of life, representing my family tree.
