Past the Eyes
Kandy G. Lopez
Montgomery Hall + Greenfield Gallery
Past the Eyes” is an evocative exploration of perception, memory, and the unseen narratives that reside beyond immediate vision. This exhibition invites viewers to consider what lies beneath the surface of observation—challenging the boundaries between what is seen and what is truly understood.
Through a diverse array of mediums and perspectives, the featured artists interrogate the act of looking itself. Their works serve as portals, urging audiences to move beyond passive viewing and engage with the deeper currents of emotion, history, and imagination that inform our experiences. Each piece acts as both a mirror and a window, reflecting personal and collective truths while offering glimpses into hidden realms.
By traversing the space “past the eyes,” this exhibition seeks to foster a dialogue about presence, awareness, and the profound connections that emerge when we dare to look beyond appearances. In doing so, it invites all who enter to reconsider the power of sight and the stories that await discovery just beyond the threshold of vision.
Exhibition: November 3 – December 29, 2025

Full Circle, Circles are universal symbols of perpetual motion, balance, and renewal. Nature provides tree rings and seasonal cycles. In Full Circle, artists create work depicting subjects with a circular form, or exploring symbolism, metaphor, or traditions expanding the basic circle.
