Moonlit Mood

Lee Boroson. Sketch for Lunar Bower, 2011.

In honor of tonight’s full moon, a preview of the next Intersections project, opening May 26. Lee Boroson’s Lunar Bower responds to moonscapes in the permanent collection. It is made of silk and felt and will suspend (illuminated) from the ceiling of the cafe.

One thought on “Moonlit Mood

  1. Thanks for bringing these to light and for reminding me to look in the sky and admire the moon, much like these artists must have when they made these works.
