Inspired by ʻōlelo noʻeau: O ke aloha ke kuleana o kahi malihini (love is the host in strange lands), Baba proposed sharing this work in response to our February 2019 call-to-artists, which called for quality, style, experience in creating communal or public art, significance to Wailuku and alignment with a pre-selected ʻōlelo noʻeau by Sissy Lake-Farm, Director of Hale Hōʻikeʻike.
His piece is now on view on level 9 of the County Building at 200 S. High Street and will be "popping up" throughout town; transforming spaces and the way that we interact with each new sense of place.
Viewings will be announced via the smalltownbig.org mailing list as well as facebook.com/smalltownbigart and Instagram handle @smalltownbigart.
