YORKTON - A reception and artist talk by Saltcoats artist Hanna Yokozawa Farquharson was held at pARTners Gallery in Yorkton Saturday.
The event was held in conjunction with the show at the gallery in the Yorkton Public Library -- Gaia Symphony & Light from Water – which has selections from two previous exhibitions.
Gaia Symphony invites the viewer to listen to the symphony played by Gaia, our planet earth. Viewing this presentation of Gaia with our eyes, we are enabled to hear the music of Gaia with our ears and ultimately our inner being.
The works in this exhibition use antique kimonos including the artist’s mother's kimono.
Light from Water involves production of a series of embroidered representations of crystallized water drawing on the work of Japanese scientist/author, Dr. Masaru Emoto.
The show will hang at the gallery in the Yorkton Public Library through until Oct. 30.
In addition, Yokozawa Farquharson noted she will be holding an online presentation called ‘Message from Water’ with Michiko Hayashi from EMOTO PEACE PROJECT at the Culture Days Yorkton event Sunday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m., connecting Japan and Saskatchewan.
There will also be a free event called ‘Heal the Earth’ as one of the Yorkton Arts Council's Culture Days Yorkton events, an in-person event combining the performance of crystal singing bowls and light language healing Saturday, Oct. 15, at 1 p.m. You can make a reservation if interested in this event at https://culturedays.ca/en/events/d7455fed-bf8b-4db8-97cc-2e18e50d5dea
