To welcome all our new practitioners and our new Holistic Wellness Packages to the public, we are having an even Grander Opening!.
Friday October 2nd, 2009 6-9 pm
Fremont First Friday Art Walk at
Dragonfly Holistic Healing
760 N. 34th St.
We invite you to come celebrate our Grander Opening and view our new exhibit: The Stillness of Motion: Changing Polar Landscapes by Roberta Holden, photographer from Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Roberta Holden’s photography draws on a wide range of unique life experiences. The themes of motion and impermanence that connect much of her work can be traced to her many years on the open ocean, both during her 14 years living aboard a sailboat as a child and later, as a professional sailor on the single-handed offshore racing circuit. Her photographs of the Polar Regions draw both from her practical experience in high latitude and high altitude regions, as a mountaineer and glaciological field assistant, as well as from her studies in atmospheric science, glaciology and Arctic studies. She first had the opportunity to explore Antarctica during a two-month, six-woman mountaineering and sailing expedition in 2002. Five years later, she returned as a photographer, lead climber and crew aboard another sailboat.
Similar to the contemplative traditions of Miksang and Zen Art, Roberta’s photographic practice emphasizes the experiential qualities of seeing as a path to awakening. From this philosophical perspective, there is no distinction between the photograph, the photographed and the photographer, no subject and object, no seer and seen, no barriers between mind and space.
