Noah Harders - Moemoeā @ Honolulu Museum of Art, Oahu ~ From the HOMA: “Through fantasy and found materials, Maui-based Noah Harders’ first-ever museum exhibition invites viewers to peer into another world. Moemoeā — which, roughly translated, means “to dream” or “fantasy” — reveals Harders’ technical skill in fabricating surrealist, haute-couture creations out of flowers, leaves, lobster shells, fish bones, and other found organic materials. See his artistry expressed through self-portraits shot in his home studio along with several of his signature mask sculptures.” Through July 27 ~ visit honolulumuseum.org/exhibitions for more information.

Celebrated Maui artist Eddie Flotte will be the featured Retrospective Artist in honor of his contributions to Maui’s visual arts community.” Opening March 24 ~ visit www.huinoeau.com/exhibitions for more information.

A former magazine creative director, Ingrid Lynch spent her days designing pages. Today, Ingrid continues designing by using upcycled materials to create wearable art.
“One of the things I loved most about my former career was coming up with visual solutions to give each story its own unique identity, not with words, but through design,” says Ingrid. “Now, I take that same approach to designing jewelry so that each piece is tells a story about the sea glass it holds.”

| | Pono Pukas
For each cone shell to become a puka it must make an amazing journey from its life on the ocean floor all the way up to the seashore. The Hawaiian word puka means hole, describing the small hole in the middle of these precious shells. The process of making these creations begins by knowing where the secluded secret beaches with the best shells are, special knowledge that has taken a lifetime to gather.

Born in the mountains of Nagano, Japan, to a family of carpenters, Maho Shaw moved to Hawai’i in 2006 to make furniture, ukuleles, and art. Combining her love of surfing with Hawaiian elements, woods such as pheasant, mango, and koa become the canvas for a variety of shimmering seashells, painstakingly hand-cut with a tiny fret aka jeweler’s saw to fit together in perfect harmony.

| | | Michael Wisner
“The source of my creativity is derived from contact with the natural world,” says ceramicist Michael Wisner. “Plants, flowers, clouds, any time spent in nature seems to touch something in us that awakens a deeper truth reaffirming our connection to everything. That moment resonates inside and collaborates with our life experience, moving us to express the feeling in a visible form. I love the process of being outdoors digging clay and forming these objects with my hands. This work is a reflection of daily life.”

| | Arabella Ark
Molokaʻi-based Arabella Ark has distinguished herself in the art world by creating large-scale, architectural ceramic forms and lending them a feeling of mystery and antiquity by firing in the Japanese raku tradition, nurturing and honoring the unexpected changes to her work during this process. She is a self-taught hand-builder, constructing her pieces from rolled slabs of porcelain clay or paper-clay fiber.
“My ceramic pieces are reflections on communion and connection,” says Arabella. “In my search for a way to symbolize the soul’s journey beyond time and space, I create mystical temples and tea houses. Evocative of Japanese architecture, these vessels also act as a metaphor for the empty space inside, the center of longing and communion, much as a cathedral acts as a vessel for transmittal of prayer.”
