Drive-In
The World's Smallest Art Gallery, Elora, Ontario. 2006.
Opening on Mother's Day is Drive-In, a new installation by guelph artist Pearl Van Geest, who is showing her video Demeter, Persephone and Ruby Desire. Here's what writer/curator Virginia M. Eichhorn had to say about the piece:"Pearl Van Geest uses the lip print as a mark and a particularly loaded, yet mutable symbol. The mother of two, Van Geest's work explores the themes of hope, loss of innocence and the futility of a mother protecting her daughter from the terrible/wonderful adult world. Her work is a subtle and elegiac suggestion of the timelessness, hence perpetuity, of the mother/daughter interaction and the inevitability of a child leaving the mother's protection."
