7 Kepakemapa - 1 Nowemapa 2024
E hele ana i Navan e kipa aku i Solstice Arts Center, ua hauʻoli au i ke ʻano kūpono o ka huakaʻi aʻu e hele nei - e hele ana mai ke kūlanakauhale a i kuaʻāina, e hele ana i kahi māhele o nā ʻano. ʻO 'Thresholds to the Unseen' kahi hōʻikeʻike hui e hōʻike ana i ka hui kiʻi kiʻi a me nā hana i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e Fiona Kerbey, Christopher McMullan, Joanne Reid, Katherine Sankey, a me Emily Waszak, aia nā manaʻo o ka ʻāina.
I ke komo ʻana i ka mua o ʻekolu mau kikowaena hōʻikeʻike, hōʻike ʻia mākou me Christopher McMullan's Okana a ka mea ala (2023) - he ala hele e hohola i ka lōʻihi o ka lumi. ʻO kēia wale nō ka ʻāpana pili o ka hōʻikeʻike a loaʻa i kahi pūʻulu o nā bellow ma lalo o kahi pale lāʻau e paipai ʻia ai ka malihini e hele ma kēlā ʻaoʻao. Hoʻopuka kēlā me kēia ʻāpana i nā mea ʻala i nā ʻāpana like ʻole o ʻIlelani - mai nā hua waina mai kahi mea kūʻai nūhou a hiki i ka slurry mai County Meath. Hoʻopili koke kēia ala ala hele wāwae i ka malihini, ʻo kāna waihona o nā mea ʻala e hāʻawi ana i kahi komo i nā kumumanaʻo resonant o ka hana a McMullan a me ka hōʻike ākea - ma kēia ʻano, nā mea o ka distillation, materiality, a me ka ʻike ʻike.
Ke hoʻomau nei kēia mau kumuhana i ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike 2, me kā McMullan Muc Chaor (Pig Berry) (2023), e nānā ana i ka hoʻoulu hou ʻana a me ka mahiʻai ʻana ma o nā puʻu biochar (i hana ʻia mai nā papa beehive i hoʻopau ʻia) a me nā pūhui ʻala (me ka algae a me ka rose) i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma lalo o nā kīʻaha aniani, e noʻonoʻo ana i ka mea i honi ʻia ʻo ʻIlani ma mua o nā bogs peat. ʻO Katherine Sankey Hydrozomia (eden) (2024) hoʻohui i ka maka, nā mea kūlohelohe (ʻo ia hoʻi nā lālā lāʻau a me nā aʻa), i hoʻopili ʻia ma o ka paipu a me nā mea uila i loko o kahi kiʻi kiʻi hybrid e ʻimi ana i nā kaiapuni kūlohelohe a me ke komo ʻana o ke kanaka. Hoʻohana pū ʻia ka wahi ma waho o nā puka makani, me Joanne Reid So Entangled (ʻāpana hina) i hōʻike ʻia ma ka pā hale kiʻi, e lawe ana i ka hōʻikeʻike i loko o nā mea a hoʻomau i ke kumuhana o nā paepae.
Manaʻo ʻia ʻo Gallery 3 he piko kūpono i ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā mea like ʻole o ka hōʻike. Aia nā wikiō a me nā leo - nā mea i ʻole mai nā lumi ʻē aʻe - me nā ʻāpana ʻelua a Katherine Sankey, Kāleka a ʻO kaʻu lima. ʻO Emily Waszak 'Ōlelo mākou ma o nā ao he hana lole lole nui i hana ʻia me ka lole ʻōpala, i kau ʻia me ke kumu lāʻau. Aia i loko o kēia hoʻonohonoho kekahi kīʻaha i hana ʻia mai ka pālolo Irish a me kahi pā keleawe hoʻohālikelike, aʻo ka leo kani e pili pū ana, me ke poʻo inoa. ʻĀpana leo ulana kaumaha, hana i ka hanohano, kokoke i ka uhane o ka noonoo.
Ma ke ʻano he kanaka no ka ʻāina ʻo Irish, ʻike wau he mea hoihoi ke komo ʻana me nā mea e hana ai i nā manaʻo kamaʻāina; ʻO ka nui o nā mea ʻala i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma ka lumi mua i lawe mai i kahi mea hōʻoluʻolu pū kekahi. Ua hauʻoli hoʻi au i ka ʻike ʻana i ka hana o kēia mau mea kamaʻāina e hoʻololi ʻia a hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia, e like me ka ʻike ʻia ma kā Joanne Reid's Alapiʻi (no nā hola hana ʻole), kahi e hoʻopau ʻia ai ka laina kuʻekuʻe o kahi alapiʻi e nā pua wili. ʻO Fiona Kerbey gula, He ʻōahi i hoʻōla ʻia i uhi ʻia me ka lace kahiko, e hoʻokani ana i ke ʻano o ka ʻili o ka wai, a e hoʻi ana i Lough Corrib, kahi i kiʻi ʻia ai ka ʻō.
E like me ka mea i kūkākūkā ʻia, pili nā hana i hōʻike ʻia ma ka 'Thresholds to the Unseen' ma o ka manaʻo nui i nā mea, a ma o nā nīnau kumuhana pili i ke kaiapuni, ke ola kuaʻāina, ka nalowale, ka hoʻomanaʻo, ka hoʻomanaʻo, a me ka manaʻo o kahi. ʻO ka hui ʻana o nā mea i loaʻa a i hoʻōla ʻia me nā mea kūlohelohe (e like me ka pālolo, limu, a i ʻole nā lālā) a me nā mea hana a ke kanaka a i ʻole nā mea hana ʻenehana (e like me ka paipu keleawe, aniani, a me ke kila paha) i ʻike ʻia i nā kumuhana o ke kua'āina a me ka ʻāina mahiʻai. mālama ʻia ke ʻano e nā mīkini, i mea e hoʻohua ai. I ka nānā mua ʻana, ʻike ʻia nā mea hana kiʻi i nā kumuhana like ʻole a me nā ʻano like ʻole; akā naʻe, ma o ka mālama pono ʻana, ua hōʻike ʻia ko lākou mau mea maʻamau e lawe i ka malihini ma kahi huakaʻi naʻau, pilikino a me ke ao holoʻokoʻa.
