At a Moment’s Glance
by Pearl Van Geest

April 29 - May 23, 2026
Opening reception, Saturday, May 2, 2 - 5 pm


I continue to be inspired by shorelines - the worlds between the land, water and sky, especially poignant from the vantage point of sitting in a canoe or kayak. There, moving while buoyed just below the water’s surface, you can quietly paddle close to the shoreline, sit motionless watching, or move slowly along while the water is like glass, reflecting the land into the water so that the already shifting shoreline border disappears - and faces, beings, openings are (at moment’s glance) revealed and then concealed. Forms and ideas emerge through the interplay of light, shadow and sound and between the substantive and the energetic, the captured and the fugitive, and scales of impermanence.
