Kristin Baucom Solo Natural Dye Exhibition
Kristin Baucom Solo Exhibition
PALI
Natural dyes from Hawaii
Christine Baucom is an artist who redefines the possibilities of natural dye through a contemporary lens. Drawing inspiration from traditional dyeing techniques, she integrates sustainability into every stage of her creative process. PALI presents a body of work shaped by plants the artist gathered along the Pali Highway in Nuʻuanu Valley. These plants form both the environment in which she lives and the materials used in her work.
In Hawaiian, pali means “cliff,” referring both to the land itself and symbolizing the sensation of standing at the edge of a decision. Opening at the beginning of the new year, the exhibition reflects the inner tension between the desire to step toward a better self and to grow, and the pull of familiar habits that draw us back.
PALI emphasizes this taut relationship, seeking to clearly reveal the space that exists between what we currently hold dear and where we are headed next.
The exhibition features Prismatic, a four-panel suspended textile sculpture inspired by the four cardinal directions; a playful series of handmade bamboo lamps; and hand-pulled works created from plant-based materials.
