Diane Lara, MFA, of Moose Jaw, addresses concerns relating to genetics and genetic testing. Diane uses a gestural calligraphic rendering of circular shapes through rubbings onto vellum. The installations are completed through the use of three dimensional elements along with light and shadow. Circular shapes have regularlyappeared in Lara’s work and have evolved into forms of expressionwhich have associations and abstract references to genetic makeup –from a single cell to abstract questions about life.
Enso – meaning Zen circles. Zen Buddhists believe it holds greatmeaning; some believe the enso are enlightenment itself. Each is different – unique like the fingerprint of the artist who created it – it isn’tperfect; it represents the artist’s character in that moment of creation.

Diane Lara, MFA, of Moose Jaw, addresses concerns relating to genetics and genetic testing. Diane uses a gestural calligraphic rendering of circular shapes through rubbings onto vellum. The installations are completed through the use of three dimensional elements along with light and shadow. Circular shapes have regularlyappeared in Lara’s work and have evolved into forms of expressionwhich have associations and abstract references to genetic makeup –from a single cell to abstract questions about life.
Enso – meaning Zen circles. Zen Buddhists believe it holds greatmeaning; some believe the enso are enlightenment itself. Each is different – unique like the fingerprint of the artist who created it – it isn’tperfect; it represents the artist’s character in that moment of creation.
