| Gallery featuring
i bonsai and crystal

GERARD SANDERS of
Takamatsu. Bonsai, along with
Karen and Susan Lipsett of
Crystalworks Gallery, are proud
to announce the opening of ‘‘Im-
ages of Time,”’ an exhidition of
centuries-old bonsai trees and
fascinating clusters of ancient
crystal formations, -

The beauty and stylistic shaping
of traditional bonsai and the spec-
tacle of light refracted by unique
crystals display the tremendous
forces of nature and time.

Each giant crystal was formed
by elemental forces deep within
the earth. Hundreds of crystals
from around the world are on
display, including a stupendous
“‘cathedral quartz’? from Brazil,
formed millions of years ago.

Takamatsu Bonsai :s the largest
private bonsai nursery in Canada
with over 8,000 trees, seme hun-
dreds of years old. Sanders and

the Lipsetts are excited by the
magical] qualities in these works of
art which reflect the powerful
forces of nature often overlooked
in today’s harried world. Here, in
the space of a few metres, in the
midst of urban surroundings,
visitors will imagine they are in a
place of misty forests and glacial
icelands.

Open daily from 12 noon to 8
p-m. until Dec. 8, Images of Time
is being held at the Crystalworks
Gallery, 1800 West Sth Ave.,
Vancouver. Residents and media
from Vancouver, the Lower
Mainiand and Sunshine Coast are
invited to attend what promises to
be an awakening and inspirational
journey through the mysterious
realms of bonsai and crystal.
