Residency and exhibition at Honolulu Museum of Art, May-June 2011
This miniature landscape composed of thousands of small mountains sculpted from soil
samples collected across O‘ahu. The creation of this site-determined installation depends on
people and their stories as museum visitors shape the size and character of each mountain along
with the artist. This work was displayed in interior gallery spaces as well as exterior courtyards
of the museum and then allowed to disintegrate over a period of three months. |
