Moanikeʻala, 2018 mixed media
|
|
|
Notes on Moanikeʻala (above): A rescued print made into a mixed media rendering due to an error during the process that ruined the entire edition of twenty five. I started this picture back in June 2014 and finished one aspect of it on August 6, 2018. * See poem also by Tomas Belsky that accompanies this print of his life partner Moanikeʻala Akaka (1944 - 2017) below.
Footnote to a Portrait I promised her many years ago when she believed a critic who branded me Hilo’s Picasso to this day I shudder to hear it. But the part was comfortable, so I played it. Moani, for her part comfortably played the wronged Queen passing among her Islands noting well numerous affronts to her people and aina. We grew into the parts we played or perhaps they consumed us over the past two score plus years. I promised her gold to adorn the delicious nape but we found the gold got in the way while navigating the nape, so the gold was cast asunder, postponed and forgotten until now. How true: all that glitters is not gold, And, ku’u ipo, as you well know, This will have to do Until the real thing comes along.
