Walkthrough with the Artist Tuesday, March 4 / 6:00 P.M. Abington Community Library Walkthrough the Library’s current art exhibit, “Liminal Spaces,” with artist Leanna Yatcilla. Liminal Spaces represent transitional places, both physical and metaphorical, where time feels slowed and observation is heightened. These dream-like spaces evoke nostalgia, blending familiarity with an inability to move forward. Through sharp lines, vivid colors, and skewed perspectives, Yatcilla creates a distorted reality that blurs the line between imagination and reality.
