Addressing the cross-polination of ideas and aesthetics between the two
artists.
Tina Girouard, "He was a natural cubist and unlike other flag makers who
depict a single
image of one loa, or spirit on a solid background, his works were composed of
multiple images on a flowing background of color...
After years of knowing each other and letting ourselves be influenced by
each other, we were confident that we could create... together."
