Noho ʻIʻiwi and Noho Palila by Melissa Chimera /

Noho ʻIʻiwi and Noho Palila by Melissa Chimera // Influenced by her background in nature conservation, much of Melissa Chimera’s artwork investigates species extinction, globalization and human migration. For Noho ʻI‘iwi and Noho Palila she juxtaposes the lush, layered painted surfaces, reminiscent of decorative textile patterns, with the images of endemic Hawaiian honeycreepers, ʻI‘iwi and Palila. In addition to these birds are photos of ghost-like children transferred onto silk and stitched onto the canvas, as well as a lion with a branch in his mouth. The viewer is left with the delight of visual pleasure contrasted with a sense of uncertainty and trepidation. Chimera states, “This series is a call out to us, to humanity and to our birds – to stay with us a bit longer.”

PALI by Russ Katto ⛰ Pali refers to a steep stone or cliff, and the artist named this glass vessel after the area on Oʻahu that connects the Leeward and Windward sides of the island. According to Katto, the white forms represent clouds and the green areas refer to the valleys. // Artist Russ Katto started blowing glass when he was 16 years old at Punahou School on Oʻahu. He has since attended glass blowing classes all over the United States and received a bachelor's in studio arts from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa.
