Bowls and Trays Made With Aloha
Functional art. These trays are inspired from my homeland, Papua New Guinea. We serve food on carved wood trays and bowls. When a bowl is not available, we use banana leaves.
I created a few designs that celebrate island food. Taro, Banana and Breadfruit leaf serving trays.
