Kiliwehi — to reverberate, rumble. Like the resonant sound of thunder in the distance, the roarof lava pouring from Kīlauea, the rhythmic echo of the kapa beater on the wooden anvil, thefirst kicks of a baby in the womb.This new body of work on kapa, traditional Native Hawaiian barkcloth, expands on myunderstanding of the relationship I hold to cycles of creation, succession, destruction, andrebirth. Examining these non-linear, fluid rhythms that reverberate across time and space, thesepieces reflect on the roles I hold within my community, as a kapa-maker, daughter, mother, andfuture ancestor. Utilizing traditional fibers, earth mineral pigments gathered from personallyand culturally significant sites, and experimentation with plant dyes, the slow processes ofpainting, beating, and stitching by hand allow me to view these movements as atemporal yetintergenerational, infinitely expansive yet specific to place.Reframing darkness as pō — a fertile procreative force — and considering my relationship to it,these new works are rooted in a cultural cosmological framework that seeks to deepen andreaffirm my place within forces far greater than myself.
