With its focus on ships and ocean, HPU’s latest art exhibition has a fitting island theme, but luckily, it pertains more to a bygone era.

“Go Ahead and Sink,” a body of work by Allison Uttley Bianco, is on display for free now through March 4 on the Windward campus.

“It pictures unfortunate ships being swallowed up by the ocean,” explained Bianco. “It deals with natural perils and their absurd relationship to personal nostalgia. Since the fragile vessels share names with family members and friends, they become linked with memories and history.


“The drawings represent frozen moments just between floating and sinking where sinking always wins, but the hope for floating remains.”


Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Saturday. For more information, call 544-0228.
