April 26, 2007
[ART EXHIBIT] The Dalai Lama may be leaving the island before the end of this week, but the influence he has on the island will remain. You can experience it at the Maui Hands Gallery in Paia. "Towards the Divine" features the art of seven artists asked to depict the nature of spirit. According to the gallery, "For over forty years, Piero Resta has explored our presence within the cosmos, seeking to discover and expand the inner self by developing a new sense of awareness. Then there's Carla Crow, who "likes to use mulberry bark paper for her work. It has a tradition of holding magical powers and was used by shamans in rituals long ago." Rosemary Barile gets inspiration from "Vaharana and Tantric Buddhism, African fetish objects, Mexican altars, Islamic Talisman garments and Hatha Vinyasa Yoga." Dhyana Zagri's Tibetan thangka art "represents her interpretation of a specific Tibetan Buddhist deity, each with its own meaning and purpose." Emily DuBois' weavings "draw upon her study of looms and cloths but also her travels to India, her connection to Hawaii, and her long practice of Tai Chi." Joanne Valencia works clay—"She loves its pliability and how it transforms on the potters wheel." And Lali Groth paints "to get to a better place, a state of mind that's uplifting." Ommm... Free. Gallery Hours: Mon.-Sat., 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sun., 10 a.m.-6 p.m. For more information call 579-9245. [LILIANABEGLEY]
