Video - Aurora - Etsuko Ichikawa

Produced by the Evergreen Public Schools Video Services Department, this short film documents student reaction and interaction with Etsuko Ichikawa's Aurora.

The artwork is made up of six flowing aluminum forms, and is suspended in the atrium of Covington Middle School.

In her concept proposal Ichikawa wrote, "After spending some time on site and observing activities there, the first image that came to me was of soft drapery forms with many gentle colors, extending higher to the skylight, and reaching to the students in the atrium area. I then immediately thought of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, which has become the primary inspiration for the concept."
