The Community Gallery, located on the lower level of 400 County Center is currently showing "Our Fragile Earth" through January 2, 2019. The exhibition features the work of Dana Mano-Flank, a San Carlos based artist with a focus on nature, who incorporates the wabi-sabi aesthetic in her composition. Wabi-sabi is a traditional Japanese aesthetic which signifies acceptance of transience and imperfection. In this exhibition, "Our Fragile Earth", Dana seeks to create awareness, insight, and explores the fragile connections between nature and human society. In her mixed-media paintings, she incorporates wabi-sabi and captures the small and simple beauty of nature. In her work, she integrates natural materials found in our forests, quarries and oceans, as well as pigments, pastes and mediums and recreates organic textures on her canvases. A conscious effort to honor the mundane and incidental is part of Dana’s artistic philosophy. She wants the viewer to be drawn into the work and contemplate the fragile connection we have with nature as well as the moral weight of our influence on it. Dana received her degree in Comparative Arts from Washington University in St. Louis. Her work has appeared in numerous juried exhibitions and invitational shows in museums, galleries, and art centers throughout the United States.

Earlier this year, Dana had a three month long solo exhibition at the Japanese Friendship Garden in San Diego's Balboa Park.

"Our Fragile Earth" is on view at the Community Gallery, 400 County Center in the Hall of Justice, Redwood City through Jan. 2, 2019.
