    Seven Muses
    Date created: April 2006
    Category: Electronic/Technology
    The City of Richardson and supporters of the Charles W. Eisemann Center celebrated the completion and unveiling of the lightpainting “Seven Muses” by internationally renowned artist Stephen Knapp in April 2006. The commission of the lightpainting was made possible by a gift to the City from Jim and Gayla Von Ehr of Richardson. The lightpainting lends a sense of magic and beauty to the soaring space of the Leftwich Grand Foyer which is enjoyed by all the patrons attending performances and events of all kinds at the Eisemann Center. During daylight, the work’s colors appear pale, they hint at “promise.” At night, when the ambient light is minimal, the work’s bright, intense colors suggest “fulfillment.” On a dark day, the colors jump out with more life; the inherent kinetics of the piece act as a mirror to possibilities and inspiration. In an interview with Adrienne Garnett in Art of the Times, Knapp, when asked about “Seven Muses” said, “I want people to see and feel the energy that is emanating from the center of it. I want people to see the subtleties, not just the bright colors that are associated with my work. A lot of time is dedicated to making this about discovering extraordinary possibilities with light.”

  • Spring Valley Terms at Spring Valley DART Station
    Spring Valley Terms at Spring Valley DART Station
    Category: Outdoor Sculpture
    Spring Valley Road, now a heavily traveled thoroughfare surrounded by employment centers and a residential area, was once the site of a natural spring that Native Americans and area farmers used. The aerial station’s art and design hearken back to the area’s historic roots and early settlement. At the station’s ground-level entrance, sculptor Michael Morgan’s red brick columns, titled Spring Valley Terms, appear to grow organically out of the ground just as the spring and creek that once flowed near the station. Several design elements incorporate a trellis or arbor theme with flowing floral designs. On the upper level, the railing treatments designed by artists Chong Keun Chu and Hyun Ju Chung represent water flowing organically from a natural spring.

    Artist: Michelle Williams
    Category: Mixed Media
    Based in Houston, Texas, Michelle Y. Williams uses a wide variety of media in her work – acrylics, oils, sand and pure pigments – and applies these to different substrates – canvas, metal, Plexiglass, wood and clay – to eliminate any self-imposed constraints in the creative process. Not confining herself to one medium enables her to experiment, explore and evolve, while drawing inspiration from the Japanese principles of Wabi-sabi, an acceptance of transience and imperfection.
