ʻAʻole Ke Kiʻi Holoʻokoʻa is a series of hand-cut kapa (barkcloth) pieces depicting various kiʻi held within collections outside of Hawaiʻi. Referencing photographs from the Blackburn Collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, these pieces aim to highlight the overwhelming institutional absence of accurate descriptions and catalogue information tied to many of these historical images. Because of these omissions, these funerary or burial kiʻi ( Hale O Keawe Ki‘i )— which are culturally and spiritually significant beings to Kānaka Maoli — are misrepresented or erased almost entirely. Symbolized by the fully absent form of a kiʻi now in the collection of the in Chicago, this series asks institutions to accurately depict our cultural objects if they are to share our stories responsibly.

He Manulua Ma Ka Panoa Ki‘eki‘e (Two Seabirds In The High Desert) is a site-specific land art installation composed using one of the oldest Polynesian patterns, ‘manulua.’ This motif, used commonly in Polynesian bark cloth and tattooing, represents the symbolic weaving of two families or lineages, shown through the geometric intersection of two birds. This piece is dedicated to my partner, Lehuauakea, and our found union here in O’Gah Po’Geh, over 3,000 miles from our shared ancestral homelands in Hawai‘i. Beyond this, however, it also pays tribute to our Kanaka Maoli heritage as a seafaring and wayfinding society. The Hawaiian people were, are, and have always been navigators setting roots in distant lands, and He Manulua Ma Ka Panoa Ki‘eki‘e honors this ongoing history, as we continue forming new relationships with Indigenous communities here in Santa Fe and across oceans.
