Into the Infinite: The Art of Richard C. Elliott

 | Glitter Dancer
Richard C. Elliott
1985-1987
|
Now through December 23, 2009
This exhibit displays a broad range of
artwork that utilizes media such as neon, glitter, reflectors, and
paint to express the artist's personal understanding of time, space,
light, image, and human awareness of the world around us. In Elliott's
1999 essay, An Infinite Point in Time, the artist discusses
an epiphany in the 1980s that changed his approach to art and defined
the signature style that would guide his work for the remainder of his
career.
