I Ka Pō (in the night) is an oil on upcyled art print canvas. The colors were inspired by a hike up the rocky cliff to a lighthouse. The three vertical rows of triangles represent my sons, like the islands rising out of the sea. An earlier version of this painting the triangles rise out of the sea and merge into one chaotic formation like birds. It was visually too chaotic so I painted the clouds and moon over it, you may still see and feel the triangles flying in the sky under the cover of the clouds. This painting is what birthed Aō Malamalama paintings and inspiration for the art show.
