"Water's Edge," the latest collection of artwork from Connie Adams will is on display now at Viewpoints Gallery in Makawao. An opening reception is set for 5 p.m. Saturday.
Adams, a Maui artist and art teacher, explores the world beneath the surface, deriving inspiration and images from one of the earth's most precious resources - water. Presented in watercolor and paper sculpture, "Water's Edge" brings the viewer to the elemental edge where world's collide and beauty abounds.
"Edges, meaning the place where one shape leaves off and another begins, can be challenging in watercolor," Adam's said in her artist's statement. " There is so much more in the spectrum of edges than just hard and soft there are vague, ripping, sprayed, splattered, mysterious; clumsy, tentative, rough, graceful, dramatic, reflective, subtle, sharp; ambiguous, cut and curled and whispered edges and I am still only on the 'edge' of discovery."
