About The Artwork
"Cash Crop, Pu`u Nene" is part of the "Agents of Change" series I developed for my solo exhibition at the Hui No`eau. The work is inspired by the last remaining (recently closed) sugar mill that brought my Filipino ancestors to Maui. The physical mechanisms--the gears, sprockets--are repeated throughout the canvas. The sugar industry changed not only the biological landscape through clearing and burning, but transformed the culture of the islands with many thousands of Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese migrant workers who made Hawai`i home.

Melissa Chimera (b. 1972) is a conservationist and Honolulu native of Lebanese and Filipino ancestry. She received a B.A. in Natural Resources Management while studying painting at the University of Hawai`i, a world epicenter for plant and animal extinction. Chimera's works contemplate our human role in globalization and its effects on our cultures and the environment. She juxtaposes the catastrophic implications of cultural and biological extinction with a method grounded in formal elements of painting and treatment of canvas as textile. www.melissachimera.com, www.delisseagallery.com
