Ko‘olau 5 (2006), by Albert Wendt

Albert Wendt writes, “I’m only five years old as an artist. Yeah, so I feel very awkward talking about something I’ve only been doing seriously since 2000! I mean, I’ve only had one public exhibition and that was in my house for one day. And I don’t really want to talk about my art like I’ve been talking about my writing for over thirty years. I want my drawings and paintings to do the talking.”
