Inside Passage
Kamani wood Sculpture now showing at the Gupton Gallery. The ripple of the kamani wood and the bird/whale shape of the top suggested themes for a title, but those seemed to "tame" the piece and force the viewer to see it from a certain perspective. The spaces left open are invitations to look into and through the form to draw you into the piece and to the world beyond. I think the boxes might also serve as small altars for objects found on walks. The space between is the inside passage, where the world is whatever you decide it is. 86 h x 26 w x 12 d
Kamani wood grows on the coastal areas on the Hilo side of this island. The tree will grow very straight when alone but the seeds drop close to the mother tree forcing the new growth to reach out sideways to get light. Eventually the trees are growing almost parallel to the ground and the immense tension that occurs gives us this beautiful twisted curly grain. It is one of the "canoe plants" brought on the earliest Polynesian voyages because it is considered a sacred tree, providing beautiful timber and oils that have medicinal properties.
Mango Slice Table
Console table. Gorgeous Mango wood that tapers in width with gently curved ends that are dovetailed into the top. Carefully shaped with large dovetail joinery. Now showing at the Gupton Gallery.
