SUMMARY:"When Listening Becomes the Lens"- Closing Reception
DESCRIPTION:Photographer and contemplative artist\, Tracy Squires invites the public to a special closing reception for the exhibit “When Listening Becomes the Lens” on Saturday\, April 18th\, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. This intimate gathering offers an opportunity to meet the artist\, experience the work\, and engage in meaningful conversation about the inspiration behind the series. \nThis evocative collection brings to life a nature-based photography practice rooted in presence and deep listening. Each image emerges from moments when the boundary between self and the natural world softens\, revealing a quiet\, spiritual dialogue expressed through landscape\, light\, and stillness. The exhibit invites viewers into this contemplative space\, where nature serves as both mirror and teacher\, reflecting an intimate meeting point between inner awareness and the living world. \nGuests are encouraged to stop by\, connect\, and explore the collection in a welcoming\, reflective environment. The afternoon will also feature a special acoustic performance by Phillip Shaver at 3:00 PM\, offering a complementary sensory experience that deepens the exhibit’s atmosphere of presence and resonance. \nThis closing reception marks a final opportunity to experience a body of work that gently invites viewers to slow down\, listen deeply\, and rediscover the sacred conversation between self and nature. \nWhen: Saturday\, April 18\, 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM \nSpecial Feature: Acoustic Offering with Phillip Shaver at 3:00 PM \nWhere: The Sanctum Gallery\, 148 North St.\, Pittsfield\, MA
