ABOUT THE ARTIST DANA KAWANO
A tech veteran turned versatile artist, Dana Kawano's work extends from stone sculpture, to a mixed media approach called transfigurism which she helped develop and most recently, avant garde dance company costume design. She's a visual artist with an eye for integrating textiles, digital imagery and tactile objects. Her costumes span a range from conventional to elaborate wearable art installations. Kawano works with choreographers from conceptual development to artist adornment achieving a strong cohesive blend of the visual with the interpreted messaging rendered through dance. Versed in a multitude of art mediums, fearless to try new things and having a preference for unorthodox approaches, she layers undertones of spiritual, ethnic and social context reference materials to create costumes that are brought to life by the performing artists. Representative works include: Our Daily Bread -- Deep Waters Dance Theater, Project Nunway -- Rashad Pridgen, ShapeShifter Video shoot -- Zakiya Harris, Adult -- Laura Arrington, Body Politics -- Amara Tabor Smith, Walking Distance -- Amara Tabor Smith.
DOORWAYS TO TRANQUILITY
Atop The Bayon the face of the Buddha surrounded us-dozens of stone faces, many over 20 feet tall. The aura consumed us and our minds quieted. It was as if the stones spoke to us, that there was some message we were responsible to carry back and share with others. Through each carved doorway we would see the Buddha, the goddesses-each bearing the essence of tranquility.
ARTISTIS INTERPRETION:
For our show, doors became the unifying element. We saw them as more symbolic than literal. The doorways capture the essence of Angkor Wat and they remind us that doorways to tranquility are really all around us. It's just that we usually miss them. For us, the doorways of The Bayon sparked an interest to create an exhibition we hoped would motivate others to look more closely for the doorways around them-and to step through them. Or, perhaps visit Cambodia themselves to see what we saw-and feel the spirits we felt.
TRANSFIGURISM TECHNIQUE:
The inception of the Doorways to Tranquility Project includes the collaborative efforts of visual artists Dana Kawano, Remarque Loy and Photographer John Dunham. A series of art pieces were created utilizing those images and inspiration from our journey through Southeast Asia. Medium format photography captured by John Dunham resulting in large images showing the essence of life. While Kawano and Loy
embrace a self developed technique called "Transfigurism," a style that combines Adobe PhotoShop techniques, photography, objects, scanning, and self-developed image-to-media transfer with oil painting and other traditional methods.
Through our efforts with hope to convey the beauty of culture and universal humanity.
