From Saturday, February 1, a solo exhibition titled “follage” by Hawaii-based artist Kristin Baucom will be held at the Lobby Gallery on the first floor.

The exhibition title follage is a coined word combining “forage,” “foliage,” and “collage.” In this exhibition, Kristin, who redefines the possibilities of natural dyes, presents works centered on the themes of upcycling and sustainability, using locally sourced natural materials as well as food scraps that would otherwise be discarded.

During the exhibition period, dyeing workshops will also be held, utilizing materials such as used coffee grounds and vegetable peels collected from the hotel’s restaurants and cafés.

Kristin Baucom

Kristin Baucom is a Honolulu-based artist redefining the possibilities of natural dye through a fresh, contemporary approach. Drawing inspiration from traditional dyeing techniques, she integrates sustainability at every stage of her practice.

With a degree in Natural Resources and Environmental Management from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, Kristin creates vibrant hues from locally foraged plants, flowers, and food waste collected in partnership with local businesses.

Her work explores the relationship between art, ecology, and community, rooted in process-driven making and place-based materials.

Kristin’s practice extends into site-specific installations and collaborations with fashion and hospitality spaces, including Ron Herman Waikiki, Prince Waikiki, and TRUNK(hotel) in Shibuya.

Through clothing, textiles, and immersive installations, she highlights the diverse applications of natural dye, inspiring others to bring this sustainable art form into their daily lives.

Her collaborative exhibitions and installations have received critical acclaim, with features in Honolulu Magazine, Violet, B Magazine (South Korea), and HawaiiStyle (Japan).

 

 

2月1日(土)より1階のロビーギャラリーにて、ハワイ・ホノルルを拠点に活動するアーティスト、Kristin Baucomによる個展『follage』を開催します。

タイトルの『follage』は、「Forage(採取)」「Foliage(草木)」「Collage(コラージュ)」を組み合わせた造語。自然染料の可能性を再定義するクリスティンは、今回の展示において「アップサイクル」と「サステナビリティ」をテーマに、地域の自然素材や本来は捨てられてしまうはずの食材の端材を活用した作品を発表します。

また、展示期間中には、ホテル内のレストランやカフェから出るコーヒー豆のカスや野菜の皮などを活用した、染色ワークショップも実施いたします。

Kristin Baucom

ハワイ・ホノルルを拠点に活動するナチュラル・ダイ(天然染色)アーティスト。

ハワイ大学マノア校にて天然資源・環境管理の学位を取得した彼女は、伝統的な染色技法にインスピレーションを得ながらも、現代的な手法を通じて天然染色の可能性を再定義しています。

作品の鮮やかな色合いは、地元で採取した植物や花、地元企業と提携して収集した食品廃棄物から創り出されています。

衣類やテキスタイルから空間を彩る没入型のインスタレーションまで、その表現は多岐にわたり、アート、エコロジー、そしてコミュニティの間に存在する深い関係性を探求し続けています。

また、ファッションやホスピタリティ空間とのコラボレーションも多数手がけています。
