We had lunch at the Honolulul Museum of Art yesterday, and then wandered through two of the curretly featured exhibitions. Both were exceptional!

But it was the work of 28-year old Maui artist, Noah Harders, that blew my mind. Harders makes masks and armor of found materials “like flowers, leaves, molted crustacean shells, and fishbones,” and then creates amazing self-portraits wearing his creations.

The lobster shell pieces, displayed on a lifesized manikin, is amazing and provocative.

And how about this mask made of fish bones?!

This exhibit runs through July 2023.

The museum is located at 900 S. Beretania Street, across from Thomas Square, between Victoria and Ward. It is open Thursday through Sunday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.
