The Back Story:
I KA HO‘OKUMU ANA (In The Beginning)
Please join us in celebrating an intimate, personal and spiritual relationship with the natural world commemorating this unique, contemporary Hawaiian quilt design that reaches to the islands’ primordial past and present. The islands, the youngest among all continents, are still in the process of this volcanic birthing, considered natural and God-given.
Helen Friend’s design places the viewer in a Godlike position, looking down into the volcano from high above, depicting streams of molten lava as they pour down a mountainside. This particular design was chosen for the collection for its violent, dramatic, active and direct style unlike the more usual peaceful, passive, subdued and subtle Hawaiian designs.
