Waimea

45”h x 96”w x 9”d

Waimea Canyon, located on the Hawaiian Island of Kauai, is the largest canyon in the Pacific; carved thousands of years ago by rivers and floods that flowed from the island’s summits’ of thousands of layered volcanic deposits. The geologic lines in the canyon walls represent the many volcanic eruptions and lava flows that have occurred over the centuries.

This work was created as whole-cloth: dyed and discharged on snow in one long piece, then burned on the edges. “Waimea” is free-form, designed to hang both on the wall and off the ceiling in a variety of configurations.
