PCC Louis Carlos Bernal Gallery announces the exhibit— EAST/PACIFIC/WEST: CONFLUENCE featuring the works of Claire Campbell Park, Nancy Tokar Miller and Mary Babcock. The work of the artists represents a merging of East, Pacific and West influences, in relation to their response to the natural world around the Hawaiian Islands and to their underlying creative philosophy. The exhibit runs January 30 through March 9, with a gallery talk Thursday, February 9, 1:30-2:30 p.m.; followed by a reception from 5–7 p.m. and a lecture at 7 p.m. in the Center for the Arts Recital Hall.
Hawaii is a place of confluence—lava merging into the sea birthing new earth. The islands, surrounded by shifting currents and trade winds, are the center of an astonishing convergence of East and West, yet it is grounded in its own specifically Pacific experience. As a place of confluence, evolving natural beauty and divergent philosophies and cultures that ebb and flow together, it is a potent source for creative inquiry reflected in the work of Babcock, Miller and Park.
