Passage | 1989-2011
These 89 images span two decades from my grandmother’s home in Kohala, on the island of Hawai’i, gathered together as artifact and arranged in an intimate taxonomy based on my relationship to objects, rooms, evidence of time passed, the living and the dead, ritual food, and ultimately, correspondence across generations. Passage looks at how, through migration across continents and seas, things are lost along the way. It considers how we interpret the history we come from, despite lack of cultural knowledge, language and frame of mind.
