Get set for a spiritual journey

BE PREPARED for a spiritual journey through the Walker Street Gallery in May when the painting and sculpture exhibit Stillpoint arrives.
In our life journey, there is a space one rarely comes to, the space where there is a simultaneous awareness of the beginning and the end. Here is the stillpoint.
When translated from Sanskrit, Mandala means the centre and periphery of a circle at the same time. The mandala is pivotal to the centre and working from this point Karen Scott maps out her journey to express the unspeakable.
The stillpoint is a concept as much as it is a physical place. It is the point between two breaths, the point between past and future – the now.
Jenny Rowe develops and interprets her thoughts and feelings into sculptural form that finds a connection with that special place.
This is a spectacular collection of images that have emerged from the stillpoint.
The official opening of the exhibition will be on 3 May at 6.30pm. Viewing times are 11am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and 11am to 3pm on Saturdays. The exhibit runs until 28 May.
For more information contact the Walker Street Gallery, corner Walker and Robinson Streets, Dandenong, on 9706 8441.
