Corona: It's All About the Light
160 Various Photographers
May 8 – July 17, 2020

The Griffin is a state of mind, so let it all shine!

We’re all about the light!

This show is about manifesting light. Illumination is the name of the game.  Physical or metaphorical, let the light shine in. Let’s brighten and reframe our outlook on “Corona”.

In science terms, a “corona” is a usually colored circle often seen around and close to a luminous body (such as the sun or moon) caused by diffraction produced by suspended droplets or occasionally particles of dust.

We asked you to share your light with us and to send us your images of sunshine, light and spring. Metaphor, abstraction and suggestion of sunlight in addition to representational concepts were welcomed.

It’s Spring, and we are all physically distanced and living via the virtual world to have shared experiences. At a time of renewal and the time of reawakening, we are all yearning to break free. We hope to get outside, see the blooms on the trees, breathe deeply of fresh air, unafraid of life in the time of Corona. And you sent the photos our way.

There are 161 photographs in the online exhibition provided by 160 photographers. Every photographer that submitted* is included in this on-line exhibition.

 

 

* There were some submissions that we felt didn’t fit our prospectus description. Of those, a few chose not to submit an alternative photograph.
