Sachelle Dae - That which nourishes us

Recognizing the nourishment that is contained in all things calls for a life of reciprocity with the land and each other. Fruits from aunty, bodyboarding in the ocean after school, ‘ulu hanging on a tree, friends and family coming together to celebrate a shared love. My artwork is a visual connection to the unique moments, people, organisms and places of our island home, Maui. In the awareness of all that nourishes us, we find a new vision to counterbalance our modern day “never enough.”

Zenobia Lakdawalla - The Temperature of Color

As both an artist and a designer, there is a graphic sensibility to my work: Lines and geometry are part of my visual vocabulary, these speak to my own aesthetics, as well as my cultural inﬂuences. Having lived half my life in India and half in Hawai‘i, I see parallels not only within the art making processes but also with geometric patterns and motifs. These parallels reveal our shared human experience of communicating and creating.

Growing up in India, I often accompanied my mother to work, travelling to garment and textile factories where I was exposed to a myriad of colors and patterns. These are embedded into my memory and surface in my work.

Utilizing line, geometry and form this new body of work explores the luminescence and chromaticity of color and the visual perception of color and light that trick the eye as optical illusion.
