Work: Liquid Sunshine (2005) is a sculpture of a storm cloud cluster that fill the space and hover close to the ceiling. Drawing from romantic landscape painting, religious painting and sculpture, the work depicts a heavenly scene complete with crepuscular rays and cherubic formations. Constructed from man-made materials: nylon, air blowers and strands of monofilament, Boroson relates the presence of this naturally spiritual moment to album cover art of the 1970’s, where music, mind-altering substances and visual imagery are substituted for a heavenly experience. The title refers to a radium laced “cure-all” marketed in the 1920s.
