Pua Power: Contribute Flowers for Art Installation - Awakening by Rebecca Louise Law (Thurs-Sun, 10 AM-6PM)

In September, international installation artist Rebecca Louise Law’s exhibition Awakening, will occupy two light-filled galleries on HoMA’s upper level and celebrate the deep connection that Hawai‘i has to its flowers. Well-known for her use of natural materials and a focus on sustainability, preserved flowers have become the signature element of Law’s most recognized works.

Awakening will combine Law’s own recycled collections of floral and botanical material with newly gathered Hawai‘i specimens.

About fifteen percent of the upcoming installation will be comprised of locally sourced floral materials. To achieve this, HoMA needs your help!

Collecting donations of the following types of flowers:

  • Beach morning glory

  • Bougainvillea

  • Bozu (globe amaranth)

  • Orange cup-and-saucer flowers (parasol plant)

  • Gardenia

  • Hibiscus

  • Huluhulu (from ma‘o plants)

  • Kukui

  • Orchid

  • Pīkake

  • Puakenikeni

  • Shower tree flowers

  • Ylang-ylang

If you have any of these growing in your yard, or from lei or a floral arrangement, please consider contributing blooms to this groundbreaking installation. HoMA will be receiving materials during the month of June at the HoMA Art School during museum hours, Thursday to Sunday, 10 to 6pm.

Flowers should be removed from their branches, free of pests and insects, and delivered in plastic or paper bags. Please label each bag with the identity of its contents. While we are so appreciative of each and every donation, please limit your contribution to flowers from the list above.
