ABOUT THE GUESTS
IAN KUALI’I is a multi-disciplinary self-taught artist of Hawaiian/Apache ancestry whose career spans more than two decades working in the forms of murals, large-scale cut-paper, prints, and site-specific installations. While trying to simplify his technique as a graffiti writer, Ian discovered stenciling and realized that he appreciated the “cut” more than the spray, thus finding his preferred medium – hand-cut paper. Over the past few years Kuali'i has been in the process of transforming his art practice to include large scale land art prayer installations.
