Hike #7965: Monson, Maine. 24” x 40”, 2021/2023
A New Series by Artist Lori Hepner
February 5–April 27 2024
There is always, “Something About the Sky,” that allows people to vocalize their wishes and to make dreams for their futures while gazing at light that has traveled from as far away as distant galaxies or as close as a neighboring Pittsburgh hilltop’s streetlight. My project is inspired by and uses the same title of a 1956 Rachel Carson television audio/visual essay, “Something About the Sky,” that spoke about cloud formations over film footage showing the beauty of clouds.
