Hawaii-based Andrew Binkley travelled throughout China and lived
the life of a monk in Thailand for several years. His artworks
fuse the natural elements of the Pacific Islands and the
religious teachings of Buddhism. “Stone Cloud”, an inflatable
boulder suspended high in the air, embodies contradictory
qualities of solidity and fluidness, lightness and heaviness.
The startling presence of the stone escapes our habitual
understanding of the material world, creating a sense of
transcendence.
