Darlene St. Georges' exhibition, River's Invocations, is on view in the Passage Gallery at Casa until October 24.

Artist Statement
River鈥檚 Invocations is a series of six paintings that honor River as a sentient, sovereign being鈥攁live with memory, voice, and story. This collection emerges from my work as an artist and creation-centred researcher, approaching River not as subject but as co-creator, whose wisdom shapes the very process of making.

The paintings are visual invocations, gestures of reverence and reciprocal witnessing. They are grounded in the belief that River holds memory鈥攐f migrations, ceremonies, kin, floods, losses, and returns. From this place of relation, my inquiry asks: What does it mean to live ethically with water? To be moved by River鈥攅motionally, physically, spiritually, methodologically?

Through color, movement, and form, each painting traces murmurations of spirit and cosmological threads of bloodlines flowing through water, land, and sky. Together, the works affirm River as both living being and living pedagogy. River鈥檚 Invocations calls attention to the sacredness of rivers鈥攖heir rights, their memory, and their voice鈥攊nviting us to listen deeply, respond with reverence, and remember our place within the flow of relation.
