Ka wahine - wai oli

There is a small inlet cove about two miles north of Kawaihae called Kawahinewaioli. The ka'ao says:

An independant woman lived there.
She could feed herself but there was nothing to drink, to refresh her.
When dry she would go to the point and call to her beloved to bring her water
Calmly she waits with anxious thoughts

'Much of my work is a story-telling. I make photographic enactment of Hawaiian and Polynesian tale, usually in the form of triptychs
I get most stories from kapuna (elders), kumu hula and libraries-seeking 'oli, ka'ao and mo'olelo.'
