Its been really meaningful to connect with people through my exhibition, In Stillness, at @honolulumuseum . I’ll be in the gallery this Friday from 4-9pm for a very casual, (and socially distanced) meet-and-greet (at Honolulu Museum of Art) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGEZ48zDF93/?igshid=wt93425j9svd

In 2014 I made this print during my first experiment testing the resilience and fragility of basalt by running it through a printing press. Six years later, it’s still one of my favorite prints from my Endurance series. #stone #print #printmaking #abstract #earth #ink (at Manoa Valley, Oahu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFTBtGsjpo5/?igshid=1x10rtybdctc1

For me, art making is not an escape, but rather a shelter from the storm. It’s a place I return to and reset, to find meaning within chaos. Each artwork I create becomes a part of this home I’ve been building for myself. #painting #drawing #ink #art (at Honolulu, Hawaii) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFBeV2kDdRe/?igshid=fxqxc5bhopkm
