Light Lines Exhibition

Jay Atherton and Cy Keener pose in the midst of their "Light Lines" exhibition, on view in the Rubin Gallery at the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts. -
The installation consists of nine mirrors and thousands of plaster-impregnated pieces of cloth. -

This is one of the nine mirrors situated in the hills surrounding the Rubin Center that reflect light into the gallery and through the square cloth. -
First step of the installation: embed the wall with eye hooks, which will anchor the stainless steel wire that will crisscross through the gallery, from floor to ceiling. -
