There is a piece of white cloth that the sun turned blue in the current exhibit at Elzay Gallery of Art. Impossible?
Emily Jay (pictured) explains that a chemical used by photographers long ago to develop pictures was applied to the white cloth, except where the stars are.
She and a student carried the cloth out into the sun, which because of the chemical, turned the white cloth blue, except for the stars which were covered to keep them white.
Emily knew this would occur because she teaches photography at ONU.
How does a blue cloth with white stars fit into the theme of the show?
Emily said the cloth looks like the ceilings of the cathedrals in Italy.
