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."
