"WOVEN INTERCONNECTIONS" 20 in. x 20 in. Woodblock Relief Print of a young Lauhala tree found atop the ridges towards Makaiwa Bay. The Spiralinv and weaving of the tree recalls its they are most commonly used for such as mats, pillows, cordage, and hats. It is as if the young tree knows it is to be woven and connected to us at a level even beyond its survival. I mounted and float- framed the 1st print on a repurposed and refurbished frame gifted to me by my good friends Ran and Rod (Mahalo braddah🤙🏾s) who acquired them from the hotel industry. Tourism and travel is the so-called driving force of Hawaii's economy just as the Lauhala was a key component of ancient Hawaii's economics. It was often bartered and traded and used is many ways. #woodblock #interconnections #printmaking #naturehelpinghumans #humanshelpingnature #reliefprint #repurposedframes (at Wailuku, Hawaii)
