2024Artist Commission for OUTRIGGER Kona ResortCuration, Art Consulting & Design Project Management
Commissioned as part of a significant renovation at the historic OUTRIGGER Kona Resort, this project involved the creation of a bespoke hand-blown glass installation by Hawai‘i-based artist Jonathan Swanz.
Scope included artist curation and sourcing, with a focus on identifying local talent whose practice could speak to the cultural and natural significance of Keauhou Bay. Led all phases of the project—from initial artist selection and conceptual development through client presentations, design development, fabrication oversight, and installation.
The resulting piece reflects Swanz’s deep connection to the land and sea, echoing the fluid forms of the coastline and the spirit of renewal central to the resort’s transformation. Positioned as a focal element within the reimagined property, the installation anchors guests in a sense of place—rooted in Hawai‘i and responsive to its light, movement, and materiality.
