First, I am not well-versed in the arts in the areas we are exploring, so with that being said I am not sure what I can add to the Jim Hodges page. I do hope to take some of my experiences from participating in other artistic outlets especially with respect to working with flowers and discussing the delicate nature of them, both fresh and artificial. As for the Chinatown Honolulu page, my goal is to find some sources written in Hawaiian that may coincide with the era we are looking at to see what the people of Honolulu were saying.

The art in this retrospective may have a recognizable closeness to them, as Hodges and his work, since the late 90's, has mentored many new artist. [1]
