Circular Paths Art Show

May 11 - June 13, 2012

Work by Rita Vali, Monika Edgar and Lynda Ladwig

The circle is an object of nature, an idealization of pure mathematics, and a symbol or framework we use to understand and describe our world. Since it is without begining or end it also represents infinity. This simplest of all fitures, finds representation in art across many cultures. In this exhibit, three artists respond to the circle -- exploring the circle as a line, as volume, as shape, as metaphor, as symbol, and as an element of pattern. 

The circle represents a universal and spiritual relevant paradox - a shape without beginning and without end. It visually describes eternity, the mysterious cycles of existence and the often uncanny circularity of our own lives.
