Four female artists mix materials and mediums to create a visual arts exhibition of cyclic beauty.

Discovering that they were all simultaneously experimenting with the ancient ceremonial traditions of the circle, all four were drawn together to present a powerful exhibition expressing the wisdom, healing aspects and essence of the medicine wheel and the sacred mandala.Four female artists mix materials and mediums to create a visual arts exhibition of cyclic beauty.

Discovering that they were all simultaneously experimenting with the ancient ceremonial traditions of the circle, all four were drawn together to present a powerful exhibition expressing the wisdom, healing aspects and essence of the medicine wheel and the sacred mandala.Each artist is drawing on inspiration from global culture traditions; Weaving the Circle explores the relationship and the cyclic interconnectedness of us all, offering a profound experience to our viewing audience.

Spanning a range of media, from organic to the sublime, the show features a multi media/installation artist (Karma Barnes), a harakeke weaver (Kylie Fawcett), a lantern maker (Moira Barber) and a painter who sings her works into creation (Ekarasa Prem). All are accomplished artists experimenting in their chosen fields.

A beautiful feature of the exhibition will be a giant circular mandala installation created by all four artists throughout the exhibition, made using only natural materials.

"Weaving the circle is a cutting edge production that will entice and stimulate the viewers through an innovative use of mediums. We want to create a must see amazing work of beauty!" - Karma Barnes
