Today we're joined by Oʻahu-based sculptor Sean Browne, whose 1989 Wailuku public artwork entitled Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono became the backdrop of last week's unveiling of The Bits Left Behind (by Adaptations Dance Theater) and Return to the Source (by muralist Cory Taum). Sean has created public art for more than 40 years. Born in Hilo, Hawaiʻi, he earned his bachelor's and master's degrees on Oʻahu and was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship in 1985, enabling him to study with Isamu Noguchi in Japan. For many years, he taught sculpture at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and at Kapiolani Community College. His greatest advice for artists today? Chance um. Please enjoy.
