Thursday Night at the Center with Ken Goodrich
Join Ken Goodrich on Thursday, November 14th, at 6pm, at Volcano Art Center Niaulani Campus in Volcano Village.
A Celebration of Light, Sound and Spirit features the landscapes of Hawaii Island through the eyes and heart of photographer Ken Goodrich.
He will present photos and videos from the dramatic volcanic eruptions to the exquisite beauty of the mountains, deserts, rivers and sea that we are so fortunate to call our island home.
Ken will also show stills and videos tracing his works over the years in the realm of black and white documentary photography, macro photography and dynamic abstract imagery set to music from across the world.
Photographer and videographer Ken Goodrich started his career when he received a grant to document the vanishing culture of the indigenous Otomi people of Tlacotlapilco Mexico.
Upon returning to the United States his photography expanded to include explorations of fine art photography. His work has been exhibited in all the major Hawaii Island art associations and published internationally in fine art photography magazines.
For much of his photographic career, he has focused on projection design for live events, rock and roll concerts, classical music, and dance performances.
Most often inspired by a piece of music, he creates unique marriages of sound and light for a series of immersive poetic visual imagery.
In 2007, Ken and his wife Mary founded their company, Hawaii Photo Retreat, providing photographic education and tours on the island of Hawaii.
Thursday night at the Volcano Art Center, focusing on art, Hawaiian culture, and our environment. The series is intended to inspire, and enhance your appreciation of art and life experience, while fostering community connections. This presentation is free, although a donation is greatly appreciated.
