Define Artifact: Shelby Smith

In December, the Makai gallery of the East Hawaii Cultural Center features a solo exhibition by Shelby B. Smith exploring ceramic media through alternative processes. Smith’s fields of study, both architecture and ceramics, conflate in the “theoretical vessel” – an object by which space becomes an artifact of human design and interaction.

Light, Sound, and Spirit

Performance
Friday, October 4, 2019 - 7:30pm to 9:00pm

An Exploration of Light, Sound and Spirit: A presentation of 7 videos synthesizing music and projected imagery by Ken Goodrich of Hawaii Photo Retreat.

Walking into a sunlit forest, gazing upon a turquoise sea, hearing the strains of a haunting melody or the wind in the trees, we can be transported to other realms out of the bounds of time and place.

Utilizing music from many cultures and images ranging from luminescent landscapes to microscopic crystal formations, Goodrich's multimedia explorations are the celebration of the spirit that animates all beings.
