Carson Tahoe Regional Medical CenterCurator's Corner - Polynesian Tapa Collection
A curator-led presentation spotlights the museum’s Polynesian tapa collection with anthropology collections manager Rachel Delovio alongside artist Jackie Pias Carlin. Carlin contributed a tapa artwork in 2022 that she processed and decorated, titled “My Neighborhood: Pinion Hills, Carson River, Cottonwoods,” which reflects her move from Hawaiʻi to Carson City and was first shown at the First Lady Presents Inaugural Exhibition at the Governor’s Mansion in 2021. The program explores what tapa, or kapa in Hawaiian, is and how it is made from the inner bark of trees, most often paper mulberry, by beating strips together into fabric with a tapa beater, then embellishing the surface with freehand painting or printed designs using a bamboo ʻohe kāpala. The museum holds examples of both tools, and the broader Polynesian collection also includes shell necklaces and other tapa-related implements. Many of these pieces come from the Dr. S. L. Lee collection, donated to the state in 1934, a gift of roughly 7,600 objects that formed the foundation of the Nevada State Museum when it opened in 1941. Dr. Lee, a Carson City physician and Union Army veteran, was an avid Victorian-era collector of historic and ethnographic materials as well as natural history specimens.
