Now that I am home in Seattle I have been missing Hawaii very much, so I offer my reflections on being there and the work that I made. I feel lucky to have spent time there, making new friendships and renewing old. Much thanks to Rick Mills for inviting me to be a sabbatical replacement for him at the University of Hawaii.

Hawaii for the Fall

Well, here I am surrounded by amazing nature – don’t really see it much as I have been under the weather – but I am going to get out there more readily as I am getting stronger………

Here is my office at the University of Hawaii at Manoa

My great lamp

and my Teaching Assistant Kumi Nakajima – without her I would be lost!!!!!!!!

HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!

September 29, 2011

Salutations! I am currently teaching for the fall at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

waterfall Manoa valley

Of course this is exciting for me as I am an island girl – although much removed in my adult years – it is really good to be close to the water again!

here is a blog post about my teaching here at UH – check it out!

and an announcement for a lecture that I will be giving this Monday at the Linekona Arts Center.

Install

April 7, 2011

Some install pics from Traver…………

Took me two days to get it up and running – not the best pics but a fun process none the less, the plinths, which I have collected over the past year are all painted the same color as the wall, giving them an homogeneous look.
