Mai Kinohi Mai: Surfing in Hawai‘i Art Installations
“Plastic Free Pipeline”
Ethan Estess, 2019
About the Artwork:
Plastic Free Pipeline is an interactive art installation created from marine debris by artist/ocean scientist Ethan Estess to highlight the impact plastic pollution has on ocean ecosystems. The commercial fishing rope and plastic objects were collected off the beaches of Oahu by volunteers with Sustainable Coastlines Hawaii, and the wood for the structure was sourced from Reuse Hawaii- a reclaimed lumber yard in Honolulu. Local youths helped to untangle the fishing rope and participated in a beach cleanup at the Plastic Free Hawaii Youth Summit organized by the Kokua Hawaii Foundation. This sculpture will continue to travel around the islands to raise awareness and inspire people to Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle plastics.
“Delivery”
Kris Goto, 2019
About the Artwork:
“This mural is about three girls who are on their journey to make their next delivery of reusable items. They work very hard day and night for the better living environment for their friends that live under the sea and also plant taro along the way!”
About the Artist: Kris Goto is a Honolulu based artist who was born in Kagoshima, Japan. She spent her school years in Hong Kong and New Zealand before moving to O’ahu in 2006. Her detailed linework explores the local lifestyle of Hawai’i through a whimsical, humorous and surrealistic perspective. She caught her first wave in 2009 and plan on working on her friendship with the waves into the future.
Funding for the Plastic Free Pipeline installation provided by the Johnson Ohana Foundation, founded by Kim and Jack Johnson to support environmental, art, and music education.
