Event Description

Caryn Babaian: Nature in Chalk final day in the Art of Science Gallery!

Caryn Babaian’s exhibition of large-scale “nature mandalas” in colorful chalk focuses on the complexity and beauty of living systems within the natural world. Babaian, a biology professor and accomplished artist, uses circular compositions to reference traditional Hindu and Buddhist mandalas, spiritual and ritual symbols representing the universe in those religions. In doing so, she hopes visitors will be encouraged to contemplate the natural world and establish a connection to their place within it. Art-making is a key component of her Bucks County Community College science classes. By actively observing and drawing, she believes that her students will more deeply observe and relate to the details within nature.

Caryn Babaian: Nature in Chalk opens January 17 and runs through May 31, 2015. Learn more.
