Big Island resident Ishle Yi "Lani" Park is the author of "Angel & Hannah" — a novel in verse — and a 2021 Nā Hōkū Hanohano nominee for her instrumental album "Sweet Gold."
But Park’s newest venture is rooted in her study of agriculture. She’s building an eco-friendly house near Pāhoa to serve as an artist colony. It's a partnership with Domegaia, a company that uses "Aircrete," or cement, water, and foam, to build cost-effective homes. The Conversation talked with Park about housing, sustainability and creativity.
