Aurora
Beyond the arctic circle, the diurnal cycle of life is transformed into brief periods of enduring summer light, and a single 4,296 hour long night. In the midst of this overwhelming darkness, light comes in new forms. Charged particles, carried in on vast solar tides, break on the shoals of the magnetosphere to become celestial pillars of dancing light.
Art is frequently a force like the Aurora. Illuminating us from within, through art we are elevated beyond the mundane into realms of mind and spirit. Impermanence is given meaning through creation and the temporary finds return to the universal.
Exploring these concepts in cooperation with the Portland Winter Light Festival, Aurora will feature light-based sculptures and installations, along with a collection of art in traditional mediums that explores light as conceptual force of meaning.
