Remembering The Voyages Of Our Ancestors
Hula Dance Watercolor Art Print 8x10” by artist Alessandra Jann-Jordan at AJJ Arts
Artist’s inspiration:
The thick fabric (so thick that the light sharply bounces off crisp creases) sometimes worn by hula dancers reminds me of the kapa (bark) cloth I have seen hula dancers wear when dancing Kahiko hula.
It was explained to me by a hula dancer friend that hula Kahiko is known to some as an ancient traditional hula that, combined with oli (chant), tells stories of different people, places, and events.
In a moment of reverie, one that here has been put to paper, I imagined this dancer dancing Kahiko hula at the ocean’s edge, to remember and honor her ocean-voyaging ancestors and how they bravely traversed vast, and sometimes stormy seas.
Prints are 8x10” and come matted (outer size is 10x12”), printed on archival Watercolor Bright White paper and bagged in clear cellophane bags with a special note addressed to the buyer from the artist.
