A limited edition sculpture by Herb Kawainui Kane
"Pele Dreaming" is the first sculptural image of
the goddess Pele created by Hawaiian artist Herb
Kawainui Kane. It is a life-size bas-relief sculpture designed in 1989 for
limited replication in an edition of 500. The sculpture is approximately
34" in diameter and 4" in depth. The subject is Pele, the
personification of volcanic majesty, interpreted as a sleeping woman, her hair
being interpreted as
pahoehoe lava,against a background of flame. A
single flame is rising from her hand.
The sculpture is offered in five distinctive hand-finished
colors, applied to the cast stone in a many-layered process using the finest
non-toxic materials. Each of the numbered sculptures of "Pele
Dreaming" or "Pele Dreaming: the Mask" are executed at
Island Studios by MaryAnn & Brock Hylton on
the Big Island of Hawaii... the location of Kilauea volcano, Pele's
home.
