Casting Shadows:
The Beauty of Light and Shadow
On View: October 6-28
Reception: Sunday, October 14, 3-5 pm
DESCRIPTION: I only see forms that are lit up and forms that are not. There is only light and shadow.”
– Francisco Goya
An object is revealed by the reflection of light while shadows define light’s absence. The use of shadows can establish dimension and create drama and depth. Cast your shadows and see where they take you!
