But rarely do you have the opportunity to experience powerful art that speaks to us discursively, touches us on many sentient levels, and communicates subliminally all at the same time. Consisting of twelve, large-scale installations that occupy all three of the Center's spacious galleries, this outstanding survey of Geer's ongoing work demonstrates her deeply held concerns during the past 18 years. Geer's art, together with its intrinsically potent message, is never preachy, didactic, or force-fed. All good art and poetry are built on metaphor, and metaphor abounds in Geer's poetic artmaking. How we respond to this flood of sensual stimulation depends on who we are and what experiences we've had.
Life is ephemeral, time is ephemeral, the work seems to say.
Nature moves in ongoing cycles that continuously begin, grow, transform, decay, die. We are ourselves a part of Nature, not separate or removed from it. Everything in life is precious and none of it is permanent. From a philosophical point of view, and considering the human condition, it seems that we and those snared hares have much in common.
