Maui Brewing Company commission

Last month, I finished installing a commissioned work for the Maui Brewing Company, Waikīkī location. Here are a couple of pictures of the work in place. There are three sections of cord work in the restaurant. The main section is 29 feet wide and 9 feet tall, pictured above. The second piece is 25 feet wide and 4 feet tall. The last section, not shown, is 8 feet wide and 5 feet tall. They are all inspired by Hawaiian chiefly carrying nets, kōkō puʻupuʻu.

Lines In Time

Marques Hanalei Marzan is inventing and creating contemporary lines that weave his deep understanding of ʻike Hawaiʻi, while preserving and perpetuating customary Hawaiian practices. Doing both simultaneously is his artistry. On exhibit, some of Marzan’s past works, as well as his “new line.”
