mixed media and oil on canvas "Hunter: rattus rattus" is part of the "Agents of Change" series I developed for my solo exhibition at the Hui No`eau, Maui. The series features the living and non-living mechanisms that have transformed the Hawaiian Islands since the 19th century--in this case, the introduced rat which devastated native ground-nesting and forest birds of the Hawaiian Islands. The abstracted imagery of the rat skull is taken from a profile line drawing showing the species' enormous predatory teeth.

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
