Edwin Ushiro’s new series of work,while tides guide you back home, comes from a longing for childhood and home. Ushiro grew up in Hawaii and often wonders how his life would have played out had he remained there. His work is thus a mix of memories both real and imagined, a sea of mixed media that combines nostalgia and dreams, with a dash of Hawaiian folklore. The artist uses paint, ink, iron-on transfers, fabric and other media to create a variety of textures and effects. We took a look at Ushiro’s work last summer, and it just keeps getting better.
