‘O ka ‘āina. ‘O ka moana a me ka lani.

Land, Sea, Air

 

March 2– March  31, 2025

THE COMMONS GALLERY, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa

‘O ka ‘āina. ‘O ka moana a me ka lani. Land, Sea, Air brings together artists whose work engages with environmental issues from a feminist perspective, connecting practices rooted in O‘ahu, New York, and Australia.

 

O‘ahu-based Jodi Endicott gathers plastic waste from the ocean to create life-sized aquatic creatures, which serve as time capsules of human detritus. O‘ahu-based artist, Nanea Lum, uses natural processes and materials, such as earthen pigments and kapa beaten from wauke bark, in a ceremonial fashion to celebrate the ‘āina of Mānoa. New York-based Kathleen Vance’s Traveling Landscapes explore the accessibility of pristine landscapes and the concept of land as a possession. She often engineers a moving water stream within her sculptures. Zoe Wetherall is based in Australia and New York. The bird’s-eye perspective in her aerial photography contrasts the natural environment with the banality of human interventions. These artists are engaged in a conversation about the environment as one earth, connected across thousands of miles.
