Artist: Gina McGuire
Medium: Acryclic paint on canvas
Dimensions: 18x24x.75
Artist Statement: I was inspired to paint ʻĀweoweo by the ʻĀweoweo plant that I was able to put into the earth at Hakalau Fish and Wildlife Refuge on the slopes of Mauna Kea. I was particularly drawn to this plant, as when I planted it I promised it that I would taste the sea for it, as its partner in the sea lives in the sandy gloom of sea caves and the moonlit open water. ʻĀweoweo directly translates to 'glowing red.' The caldera atop Mauna Loa is also named, Moku 'āweoweo, and is depicted here. I really wanted to highlight the connection between land and sea.
Featured Species:
ʻĀweoweo|Hawaiian Goosefoot|Chenopodium oahuense
ʻĀweoweo|Common Bigeye|Heteropriacanthus cruentatus
