Afterlife

Ian Kuali'i creative process blends the contrasting elements of very loose graffiti writing techniques with extremely detailed hand cut paper and collaged found materials to create unique compositions. His work is a balance between the rough and delicate, demonstrating the process of destroying to create. His art is predominantly influenced by his ancestral ties to the indigenous people of the Southwest United States and Hawaii, as well as masonic symbolism, mysticism, global politics and themes of urban decay.

Each of these hand-cut stencils is completely unique and has been applied to a long forgotten aerosol spray paint cans, all of which has a story uniquely to their own.
