Let there be light!

Student exhibition: Connecting – A Philosophy of Making with Lissa Hunter

"There is probably no visual element more potent than the range from darkness to light. It is how we decipher the world around us at its most basic level. The light reveals what dark obscures. But the word ‘light’ also describes a lack of weight, a dilution of color, an expression of wisdom. We lighten our load, we wear light-colored clothing in the heat of summer, and we see the light when we comprehend.

Light breaks. It leaks. It enhances. It enlivens. It travels at great speeds. It shows us the way. And light was the starting point, the idea, behind the work for this exhibition. For some, it was specific. For others, it was a jumping-off point. However, each artist approached it, and you have here the results of
Using an idea, materials, and techniques to make a personal  statement – all beginning with the suggestion of ‘Let there be light!’
