‘River of Lights’ experience shines a spotlight on water’s journey
… The city of Santa Clarita, in collaboration with the Santa Clarita Valley Water Agency, New York-based artist Sujin Lim, the Visual Terrain design firm and the Santa Clarita Symphony Orchestra, offered the free “River of Lights” experience Wednesday evening to celebrate the unveiling of a public art installation at Central Park in Saugus. According to Miranda, the presentation was a celebration of creativity, innovation and the connection the community shares with nature. … At the center of the plaza stood the newly unveiled art piece — a 14-foot-tall, 20-foot-wide set of steel clouds and cascading raindrop piping called “When Cloud Met a Cloud.” According to artist Lim, who specializes in creating site-specific installations and sculptures, the pipes symbolize both falling rain and the nearby pipeline in the Saugus hills that bring water to the area. … Santa Clarita Mayor Pro Tem Laurene Weste, in an interview before the “River of Lights” presentation, spoke about the importance of teaching children about water through art.
