Pomona Art Walk: Epiphany


Another work of art that caught my eye at the Art Walk was called "Epiphany" by Joy McAllister. It consists of fog in various colors, with a bright spot of red-orange light in the center. Because the lighting in the picture is more focused in the center, my guess is that McAllister wanted the viewer to focus on that particular portion. In my opinion, the fog represents clouded thoughts, whereas the light represents an idea or epiphany. I have not seen many works of art that can visually capture what goes on in someone's mind, such as this one does, so I found this to be very creative. This piece reminds me of a song called "Forgotten" by Linkin Park, which paints a picture in the listener's mind of the exact opposite. It is interesting to know that these brain functions can be portrayed visually and musically.
