IDS VANCOUVER 2026

Singing Hollow

Humming may be our oldest form of healing – an ancient technology of self-restoration through the sound of our own voice.

Before instruments, before language, there was vibration. In the resonant chambers of the caves, the human voice became both sound and sensation – an early expression of our instinct to use our own frequency to restore and reconnect.

Artistically expressed, Singing Hollow acts as a sound amplifier designed to help reconnect your unique frequency to the marrow of your bones.

To experience it, simply step up, place your head into the opening, close your eyes, hum, and enjoy.

Thank you to everyone who visited us at IDS Vancouver, experienced Singing Hollow, and shared in the beautiful conversations around this new work.

This past weekend, we celebrated the opening of What We Carry / Carries Us at Hearth Gallery on Bowen Island, and we’re still reflecting on what a special evening it was.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate this new body of work. Sharing these pieces and the conversations they inspired made for an unforgettable evening.

To the incredible artists, Eileen Kiyonaga and Rebecca Santry, who shared the gallery, thank you for your generosity, creativity, and for making the exhibition such a thoughtful and inspiring experience.

Our sincere gratitude to the entire team at Hearth Gallery for creating such a beautiful space to gather, and especially to our curator for bringing this exhibition together with such care and vision. Your thoughtful guidance and dedication made this show what it is.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who made the trip to Bowen Island to celebrate with us. Your support, curiosity, and conversations are what give these works life beyond the studio.

What We Carry / Carries Us is a reflection on the stories held within the materials around us—and the connections we carry with us long after we leave a place. We’re grateful to have shared those stories with all of you.

Thank you for being part of it.

‘What We Carry / What Carries Us’

Artists: Rebecca Santry, Brent Comber, Eileen Kiyonaga
Show Date: July 29th – Aug 17th

What We Carry / What Carries Us brings together the work of Rebecca Santry, Eileen Kiyonaga, and Brent Comber in an exhibition shaped by movement, material, and the relationship between structure and flow.
Working across painting and sculpture, the exhibition explores how experiences of being in nature become translated and carried through making. Inspired by moments of immersion outdoors and the restorative energy held within those experiences, each artist responds through their own medium – creating forms that hold memory, sensation, and connection.

Inspired by moments of being in nature, Rebecca Santry’s recent paintings and mixed media works build on ideas explored in her last series Soft Fascination. Fluid fields of colour and movement are interrupted by harder sculptural lines and openings of exposed raw canvas, creating a dialogue between gesture and structure. These spaces suggest moments beyond the visible, reflecting on what remains after an experience in nature, not the landscape itself, but fragments of memory, sensory impressions, and traces gathered outdoors, leaving imprints that settle and continue to shape the work. @rebeccasantryart

Eileen Kiyonaga’s multidisciplinary practice explores subtle structures and rhythms beneath the visible surface of the natural world. Through layered materials, quiet forms, and restrained gestures, her work draws attention to the elements of connection that often go unnoticed; revealing subtle shifts, patterns, and the quiet forces that shape our experience of nature. @eileenkiyonaga

Brent Comber’s vessels ground the exhibition through material presence and form. Guided by a respect for the inherent character of wood, his practice reveals rather than conceals grain, variation, and the marks left by time, allowing the material to carry its own history. @brentcomberoriginals

Together, the works consider how organic forms can capture and transmit restorative energy found in nature. Through line, grain, gesture, and form, What We Carry / What Carries Us invites viewers to reflect on what shapes us, what sustains us, and what remains long after the moment has passed.
