Folder: MATERIAL RESEARCH>08.charcoal 

Solo Exhibition at Aupuni Space, May 2024.

Folder: MATERIAL RESEARCH>08.charcoal  is a branch of a larger, ongoing project which attempts to learn about the materials in my environment and how to utilize them. The research specifically considers material/s in relation to drawing; this subfolder represents my process of learning how to make charcoal. Parts of the process include constructing homemade kilns from found materials, and making drawings of the small branches and twigs I picked up to become charcoal.  Undoubtedly, this attempt has been inspired by watching my artist peers engage deeply with their own materials, and my perspective being informed by living in Hawaiʻi for nearly seven years now. 

Charcoal, I view as a foundational material, both in drawing and my quest for great material understandings.
