SUMMARY:In The Moment
DESCRIPTION:A weathered barn. A walk through the woods. A landscape seen from a trail. A piece that brings back the smell of a farmhouse\, warm milk and peppermint. \nWe all live in the moment\, but the significance of each moment is easy to miss. For artists Kate Bridger\, Lynn Hood and Jo C. Willems\, it is what they notice when they pause and look up that finds its way into their work. \nFor Kate Bridger\, a piece can become a way of stepping back into a moment. Table For One returns her to a cosy hostel café in Amsterdam\, snow falling outside as she enjoys a bowl of hearty soup and a glass of wine. Her work preserves these places and experiences\, while leaving room for viewers to find their own stories within them. \nJo C. Willems places the viewer just outside the picture frame with an invitation to step into the piece. Her Perspective of Motion uses curved perspective to pull the viewer in\, allowing them to move from one side to the other and remain in the work. \nFor Lynn Hood\, wandering the shoreline\, investigating tidal pools and bringing those observations back to the easel creates a different kind of moment. Daily life recedes\, negative thoughts quiet\, and her attention settles on what is taking shape in front of her. She finds freedom and comfort in the meditative process of creating her mandalas. \nIn The Moment invites us to pause\, look up and take notice. \nJoin us for the Opening Reception\nSaturday\, October 17\, 1–3 pm\nPearl Ellis Gallery\n1729 Comox Ave\, Comox \nThe exhibition runs October 13 to November 7. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:The Moon Also Rises
DESCRIPTION:The invitation is to look up. \nIn The Moon Also Rises\, seven island artists turn their attention toward our nearest celestial neighbour. Each artist offers a different way of seeing\, experiencing and responding to the Moon. Across a multitude of media\, including painting\, printmaking\, photography\, sculpture\, video and poetry\, the exhibition shifts back and forth between the tangible and imaginal\, the known and mysterious. \nWhile the moon has provided us a consistent presence in the sky\, it has also offered a powerful vessel for humans to make meaning of. Consistently inconstant\, it marks time and generates tides. The moon illuminates dark nights\, shines during the day and has long been associated with dreams\, desire and psychological transformation. Simultaneously intimate and immense\, the moon acts as a repository for the symbolic\, whether playful or contemplative\, and has always captured the imagination of humanity. \nOne moon. Seven artists. Seven perspectives. \nWhat does the moon awaken in you?
