Intaglio

Domino Cohn is an artist working in Holualoa on the Island of Hawaii. Her recent body of work explores the Kumulipo (Hawaii's creation chant).

I used leaves from the Uala (sweet potato) to create the body of this little nugget of a caterpillar. "Pe'elua", the Hawaiian word for "caterpillar" also means "brindled or striped". I find this stripey guy to be a nice example of both.
