With Contact 2016 opening only 9 days away Michelle and I are stitching our art installation together as quickly as possible. 

Michelle has sent a sneak peek at her part in our project:

  
Her stitch work tells the story of the kāhuli, Hawaiian Tree Snails, and their populations here. 

No, the kāhuli do not hang out in the Philodendron vines which I am creating for our combined art installation. My vines represent the current incompatibility of human influx and intervention upon the ecosystem in Hawai’i. The Philodendron is considered a non-native, invasive plant.
