I've really enjoyed this series from Pow Wow as artists from all over the world congregated in founder Jasper Wong's birthplace Hawaii to bring a bit of art and culture back to the beautiful island. There's many reasons I've enjoyed this series so much, watching such incredible art come to fruition, listen to the artists' views on why and how they approach their work and obviously the finished work themselves.
For me, growing up in a small village in the south of England, it's fair to say that I lacked a certain amount of art and culture in my upbringing. So I felt that I could relate to Jasper Wong's desire to take the Pow Wow project back to Hawaii to inject art and culture back into his homeland, feeling that it has lost some of history and tradition. Much respect.
