Item Description
This item is a black and white print of a photograph made using infrared film and measures 13" x 19". This mysterious image evokes the timelessness and energy of two of the 88 Shrines at Lawai International Canter. The shrines and surroundings are captured in infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye, and presented in visible form to the viewer. This dreamy landscape is merely one other manifestation of the wonders of the Pilgrimage Path and might be experienced by a pilgrim when in a deep, contemplative state.
Chris Wayland was drawn to photography through the newsroom door while working as a print and wire reporter for news organizations including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Hannibal Courier-Post and The Associated Press. Since that time, she has devoted herself to photography, having studied craft and creativity. Her current project Between Realities ties together all her professional interests by informing the viewer about issues vital to a culture that is shared in both words and pictures, and illustrated beautifully with her photographs of Hawaii. A native of St. Louis, she now lives in the Dallas area, and visits Hawaii as often as possible.
From the Artist
The photographs featured in the Between Realities series document cultural sites and artifacts in Hawaii that are threatened by tourism and urban development. I was drawn to these sites and hope that these photographs will aid awareness and help to protect their beauty for generations to come. I will continue to return to Hawaii to continue work on this project.
I've chosen to create the images digitally with the visual style of infrared film which I feel best depicts the timelessness, energy and mystery of the interactions between the land and culture: first the ancient Hawaiians, then the immigrant plantation workers and now the tourists and urban developers. Each has left its layer upon the land. Standing between a revered cultural site and a tourist destination, it's hard to pinpoint your reality; you are truly between realities.
