Summer Art Garden: Flash of Sun
Memphis-based artist and designer Khara Woods presents A Flash of Sun, an installation of sun-drenched shades, dazzling patterns, and geometric sculptures. Woods incorporates her signature tile-like shapes and hypnotic motifs, reminiscent of houndstooth and other textile patterns, with swirling rays. Inspired by Paul Laurence Dunbar’s poem, Summer in the South (1903), with its vivid, lyrical descriptions – “Then a flash of sun on a waiting hill / The sky smiles down...”– the installation captures summer’s vibrancy and joy.
