This is an important part of the exhibition.
Finding the right shoes.
I'm peeping through to his phone.
Wow, it's a similar one, but in white.
Mika's very choosy when it comes to his shoes for the exhibition.
Oh, you just told your mum no.
Will she be heartbroken that you didn't like her choices?
Oh, so she's still a big part of your costume design.
Yeah, like fashion from the 70s, from the 1970s.
Your mum wanted you to study business.
How is art viewed in Kenya?
I leave Mika to prepare his work and find the right shoes and return three months later to see how everything's going.
I can see that he's finished the smaller eggshell mosaic templates and is now working on creating the larger versions of the works.
He's also been expanding his studio, taking over the uni's next door.
Yeah, I can see it's almost double the size.
A big change in the Trying to Blossom series is that Mekas decided that it's not just going to be the eggshell mosaics.
He's also adding some big charcoal and pastel paintings to it as well.
So mosaics, paintings.
