Artist: Pua Mendonca
Medium: Acrylic
Dimensions: 53" x 17" (measured as a triptych)
Artist Statement: Greeting each other with an oli (chant) requires us to FILL the space between us with our hā (breath) and then breathe each other in and out through our puʻu (throat). I have not painted the hāpuʻu here; I have painted everything in the world but the hāpuʻu, and then it appears. Same thing! It is the way we fill the space between us that matter--like the forest understory, the hāpuʻu file the spaces between. . . with such quiet beauty.
Featured Species:
Hāpuʻu|Hawaiian Tree Fern|Cibotium glaucum
