Michael Trainer is an artist and educator. As a Fulbright Scholar in Sri Lanka, he apprenticed in the ritual arts with a seventh-generation healer. This formative experience revealed to him the powerful potential for the arts to build consciousness and heal communities. Trainer now strives to apply that knowledge through his life work. In The Space Between, he invites viewers to bear witness to the visual diary of his 16-month journey around the world. With color portraits and abstracts of the natural world, he presents his inward reflections on the aesthetic experience of South and Southeast Asia, Indonesia, New Zealand, and the American Wilderness. The Space Between invites a sense of place and possibility through the eyes of a liminal wanderer.
