Jean Gerber

Nov 1, 2024 – Jan 10, 2025

This six-panel work by painter Jean Gerber began from a drawing sketched one evening while camping on the Aroostook River in Maine.  The painting, however, remembers many evenings camping alone alongside a lake or river.  The artist says, “At this time of day, between light and dark, a stillness descends bringing a vague discomforting unease. In many cultures this transitional time of day is a sacred time.”  Emily Dickinson describes this “between” time in her poem, “There’s a Certain Slant of Light”

“There’s a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons,
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes.
…
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath ….”
