Clark will discussed how he sculpts with light, using neon, fluorescent, incandescent, argon lights, and electroluminescent wire, as well as his works currently on display in "Illumination: The Sculpture of James O. Clark."

Support for this event is provided in part by the Kerry Dinneen and Samuel Sutphin Visiting Artist Fund. Herron’s artist-in-residence program is made possible with support through CityWay, a luxury mixed-use community located in downtown Indianapolis.
