Opening Reception: Friday, May 6 from 6pm - 8pmThe Donkey Mill Art Center is proud to announce our Inaugural Biennial Exhibition, WOOD INK FIBER 2016, a juried exhibition open to all artists working in the media of woodblock printing in the state of Hawai’I and open to the public for viewing in our current galleries in Holualoa, Hawai’i, May 6-July 9, 2016.
The woodcut print is as old to these islands as the patterns that decorate pre-contact kapa cloth, and as new as patterns carved into plywood with a dremel tool. The use of wood, paper and pigment, informed by numerous traditions continues to be a vital artistic form. The primary activity of this exhibition will be to explore these various forms as they are currently practiced in the State of Hawai'i.
