"The WIPEOUT Series expresses the muted sight of the wave's energy during a wipeout," says Bailey. "It's timed chaos that can pass in a few seconds and it can be a spiritual experience. The artworks communicate the feeling of being underwater, fast and active, in a non-spatial relationship to what is up or what is down.

"The Wipeout Series: A surfing wipeout is a metaphor for life and the chaos/uncertainty/powerlessness that can inevitably arise, and this is certainly true during the COVID-19 pandemic. Both surfing and life's challenges take courage, knowledge, and trust. Sometimes you fall, and when you do, know there may be unpleasant turbulence. Relax, hold your breath, and let it pass. Eventually, you will emerge. The wipeout is the most vulnerable part of surfing, and this series celebrates having the courage to fall."

"Anaeho'omalu Bay, in one telling of the mo’olelo (story), was named after young princess from Puna who made her way across the island with her sister, Puako. They both settled at the places named after them. This work is part of the Purple Mountain series–a study of the mauka to makai ahapua’a on the Big Island of Hawaii. Anaeho’omalu, or “A Bay” as it is commonly known, inspired this work with the mountain in the distance." - Heidi Buscher

"Two great stones once stood in the valley of Nu‘uanu on Oahu. These were said to represent the goddesses Hapu‘u and Kala‘iola. The goddesses were known to possess mysterious powers; they were guardians of Nu‘uanu Valley. “Akua no ka pali,” gods of the precipice”

"An old legend tells of Maikoha, a farmer who lived in Nu‘uanu Valley. At that time, people of old did not have kapa to clothe themselves; they bore the driving rains of Nu‘uanu without the benefit of kapa as protection. Upon his death bed, Maikoha grew weary of the cold. To his daughters he foretold a plant that would grow from his grave. He instructed them to use this plant to make kapa from its inner bark. As prophesied, the wauke plant grew from his burial place. Maikoha’s daughters followed his guidance and learned the ways of kapa-making. From this, the wauke plant spread throughout the islands and the methods to make its bark into the finest kapa were learned. So renowned was his gift of wauke that Maikoha became known as the chief ‘aumakua of the kapa makers: Maikoha, the Kapa-Maker’s God." - Heidi Buscher

The Story Sticks: by Carol Bennett 

It occurred to me that surfing, like other daily practices, is always the same yet always different. Conditions, the tide, vibe in the water, and time of day vary–actually the only thing that is consistent is the surfboard itself, and if that surfboard could talk it would have stories to tell.

This is one of my three monolithic “Story Stick” triptychs, that I made anticipating my room at the Surfing Hawaii Exhibition, at the Maui Cultural Center. 

My son rides a $100 Costco Wave Storm, which I used for my template, so what you see is true to size. While I used a multitude of processes and materials, I wanted the dominate hit to be graphic. I carved big linoleum blocks, and a polka dot roller, my intent was to have patterning that is reminiscent of old school Hawaiian shirts and surf posters: Tommy Bahama meets Endless Summer.

Carol Bennett’s ethereal and light “women in water” are reflections of her own passion for the ocean and her daily practice of spending time in it. They’ve inspired her to explore fishing nets and knots, abstract fish patterns, surfers and stand up paddlers. Her background working in Hollywood as a journeyman scenic artist, painting billboards and backdrops for theater, motion picture and TV has led her to create grand-scale public works in glass that can be found in Hawaii State Art Museum, Honolulu International Airport, Hawaii Convention Center, Beverly Hills Hotel, Harrah’s Casino, and many more. She’s had numerous museum shows and continues to create her wide variety of work from her home and studio on Kauai.
