Plant to Paper tm is Nancy Dawson's term for an ancient Japanese papermaking technique whereby differently-colored fibers are selectively applied to and manipulated upon a screen. Thus an image is built up in layers, and when the dried fiber is peeled off the screen, the result is a picture which is the paper! |

Wayne Jacintho was born on Kauai, and his photos reflect an upbringing in a land of everchanging color and mood. Wayne works in color and B&W, in 35mm and digital formats. See Kauai through the eyes of a native in love with his native land. |

Wayne works exclusively in the native and introduced woods of Kauai such as koa, milo, kiawe and silk oak. Whether a bowl, vase, lamp,jewelery box, or something as fanciful as the wormy mango platter or brown ivorywood ball at left, each piece is pure in form and flawless in finish. |
