Kalapana. Attached is a mixed-media piece inspired by Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii Island. It represents the original tropical splendor of Kalapana and the subsequent power, fire, destruction and rebirth of the area. The wood used in this piece is all Hawaiian Koa. Some of the wood was foiled just as if it were glass, with special attention paid to the construction to allow movement due to expansion and contraction. The piece is about 14\" high and is lighted with one 14-watt compact fluorescent bulb. My studio is in Hilo, Hawaii and I've done many pieces depicting lava flows, waterfalls and other scenes of nature that allow me to express my feelings about the splendor of this Island.
