In 1999, a local community organization, the Hui Maka‘āinana o Makana, approached the State for permission to actively steward the cultural and environmental resources that were steadily degrading at Ha‘ena – restoring ancient lo‘i kalo, clearing invasive overgrowth, and reconnecting residents to the history and traditions of their ancestors. Here six year-old Ualani Walters clears a lo’i of invasive limu (seaweed) and apple snails. The limu compete with the kalo for nitrogen and the invasive apple snails. The snails damage taro plants by chewing into the top of the corm leaving a hole where bacteria and other pathogens can enter. This damage either kills the plant or drastically reduces crop quality and yield. Apple snails also eat the young kalo shoots. 

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
