“Finding Light” at the Ojai Valley Museum
Our Exhibit Chair, Richard Amend, says this about our current exhibit:
Finding Light is a riff on Amanda Gorman’s Inaugural poem, The Hill We Climb.
A verse in the poem reads, “Where can we find light in this never-ending shade?”
How, in our studios, do we process thoughts such as these into form and expression?
