Artist Statement:
One of the most well-known artistic traditions in Hawai'i is an applique style of quilting that utilizes stylized and radially symmetrical plant, and sometimes animal, designs. This series asks the question, "How do you adapt your cultural traditions when you no longer have access to the land and necessary materials?" Each of these squares was designed using the traditional methods, but they feature plants common to the Mountain West.
