The Behavior of Sunlight is a solo exhibition by photographer and musician David Garland at Lightforms Art Center, April 11-27, 2025.
The show features Garland’s experimental photography, capturing the changing nature of sunlight through reflection. These captivating images give both a macro and micro perspective on the world that is all around us. David writes “Like a mirage, these optical phenomena are real, but not the physical things they appear to be. …My images are discovered as much as created.”
- Friday, April 11, 2025: Opening at 6;30 pm, with an artist talk by David Garland at 7pm
- Friday, April 26 at 7pm – concert by Music for Furniture
