Artist Barbara Earl Thomas gives a tour of her exhibition, “The Illuminated Body,” at the Arthur Ross Gallery. On view through May 21, it is funded by a Pew Center for Arts & Heritage grant.
Thousands of cutouts create swirling patterns in the Tyvek material that envelopes “The Transformation Room,” a room-within-a-room in the Gallery.

Provost John L. Jackson, Jr. (center) attended the exhibition opening, along with nearly 300 people at the reception and discussion.
The Arthur Ross Gallery exhibit is the first time Thomas’ work has been shown in Philadelphia.
For “The Illuminated Body,” Thomas specifically responded to the Arthur Ross Gallery’s Venetian Gothic architecture.
The exhibit includes a series of nine large cut-paper portraits and three works of hand-blown glass.
Light streams through thousands of cutouts on long white Tyvek drapes enveloping a room-within-a-room titled “The Transformation Room,” part of the Barbar Earl Thomas’ “The Illuminated Body” exhibit at the Arthur Ross Gallery.
