This project started in October 2010. There is another big art project nearing completion this month that I will definitely be blogging about.
A fun recap of a day Rachel and Tom spent on the water.

Aloha David,
I just want to assure you that your board is on its way. I can tell you all the stories about your board and the rains of Hawai'i nei and you would find it all hard to believe, but I got to say again this board is all about rain. So much so that I have named it "Kauakoko" - a rain so heavy that it turns streams red-brown because it is washing the land away, but it also means the reflection of a rainbow where the color hue is red. All a good thing in our culture.
Okay, I have begun working on it again and the forecast is for rain and a possible tropical storm so I am trying to get it done before all this starts to happen again. Everyone that has seen it is in love with it so I am guessing you will be happy with it too.
I be back to you soon.
A hui hou,
Tom

Wow!! Very cool!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's incredibly beautiful in real life. And it would look really good hung horizontally over the windows facing Ferd St. in the ballroom/yoga-room. It was fun to see Tom again and see what he makes.
