To Soar, Palladium Print, 2015

Jon Kolkin
Inner Harmony...
Learning from the Buddhist Spirit

The General Opening Reception and Lecture have been rescheduled for Friday October 27, 2017. The lecture is 5-6 pm with the reception following until 8 pm.  

On display September 15 - December 30, 2017
Lecture: Dr. Kolkin will present "Living a Balanced Life: Practical Strategies for Busy People"

In 2011, Kolkin began taking the photographs which make up this exhibit. During his travel to Wenzhou, China, Kolkin was permitted to take photographs during a special ceremony in Taiping Temple, a cloistered enclave of 100 Buddhist nuns, situated in the heart of the city. Upon showing his work to the headmistress, Kolkin was given access to almost the entire complex for a full month. Though 2011 was only the beginning of this exhibit, Kokin continued to work on this project for over 5 years, while living in many countries and photographing Buddhist monastics from many traditions.

Inner Harmony... Learning from the Buddhist Spirit is exhibited as Palladium prints due to the warmth and textural environment communicated in the technique.            

Open Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-4pm.
