About the Exhibition:
Mark Rengers Gallery is excited to announce their next exhibition: Presence. Featuring local glass artists Margot Dermody, Eric Hernandez, Chris Ross, and Leo Fine, this exhibit asks you to reimagine glass as an interpersonal form. In a world filled with constant motion, distractions, and anticipation of what comes next, Presence reminds us to appreciate the richness of the moment at hand. Through the ethereal and transformative medium of glass, this exhibition explores what it means to slow down, pay attention, and engage more deeply with the world around us.

Embodying the essence of presence, glass is simultaneously delicate and resilient, transparent and reflective, elegant and foundational. Glass responds and moves with its environment, as well as stands in humble silence. It is aware and calm; it reminds us to be still. The artworks gathered in this exhibition reveal subtle shifts in color, form, and light — relationships that can only be fully appreciated when deliberately sought out. Presence is ultimately an exploration of balance: between stillness and movement, attention and distraction, fragility and strength.

Admission: Free and open to all.
