April-May 2010.
Greenlease Gallery at
Rockhurst University, Kansas City, MO
The word luminous can be defined as emitting light or full of light, enlightened or intelligent. For ceramic artist Linda Lighton, it's a light from within. Click here for photos showing closer views.
The slide show has 11 images, changing every 5 seconds. Lighting can be purchased in groups of three or more.
Linda Lighton's "Luminous" exhibition explores the concept with lighted porcelain chandeliers suspended from the 16-foot ceiling of the Greenlease Gallery. The forms resemble creamy-colored flower blossoms against a midnight blue backdrop. Music by UMKC Conservatory composer Paul Rudy played in the gallery.
