Not one or two, but 5 touring mainland performers from a wide range of mediums team up with local talent to headline Ong King’s ever blossoming First Friday. The brilliantly colorful Tibetan Art of Dhyana Zagri is coupled with the ceramic artistry of Brenda Garrett in the gallery. These art openings set the scene of creation, singer/poet Iyeoka returns from Boston to groove with the ever electrifying Quadraphonix, LA based/world touring band She Flies will play with guitar virtuoso Scott Huckabay, in from Brooklyn NYC/Nuyorican Slam Poet Oveious Maximus will release a poetic feast, Sammy returns from off island adventures to lead Giinko Marischino and Coco Chandelier in a dance fusing drag and Butoh, circus juggler The Amazing TJ, couples with DOctor MAgic to give MC SEE plenty to praise on this night of good people, tremendous talent and physical, verbal, visual, and audible poetry.
"I first encountered this culture at the Tibetan Freedom Festival held in Washington D.C. in June of 1998. I was fascinated by the beautifully intricate designs of a sand mandala being created by the monks and the fact that they would destroy it upon completion. This was done to represent the impermanence of all things. I love this art because it represents the profound wisdom of the Tibetan culture, encouraging us to live our lives with compassion for all sentient beings, and to be aware of the impermanence of this world."
Brenda Garrett is a ceramic artist with over 30 years of high and low fire experience, "I choose clay as my media because it offers texture and dimension that is lacking in painting. I hope to inspire the viewer to want to reach out and touch the surface of my work." Brenda bridges old world craftsmanship with modern technology by employing graphic arts computer programs for design development. Moving to Hawaii has caused water, marine life, Asian and Polynesian themes to be a major part of her ceramic compositions.
