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!!!!!!!!

More images of beauty!

HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

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.

The Catalogs are here!!!!!!

So exciting – I have finally got the catalogs in hand!!!!!  I will do my best to get them out early next week to my staunch Kickstarter supporters as I am still waiting for the show cards! They look so beautiful and I am so very thankful to everyone’s pledges for this project! It would not have happened without you – really!

I have about a week until the opening and I am still busy getting work finished to take to the photographer’s this coming weekend!

Here is the image of the show card and then a taste of the catalog in the form of a poem in it by Stewart Kestenbaum.
