How the Light Gets In by Glenda Mah

Quilt artist Glenda Mah discusses her piece "How the Light Gets In" in the @SAQAArtquilt exhibition "Light the World" on display at the @brighamcitymuseums June 24-September 23, 2023.
Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That’s how the light gets in
- From the song “Anthem” by Leonard Cohen
This verse really fits the year 2020. The issues of global warming, gender rights, misogyny, and systemic racism have been brought out from the darkness and into the light so the world can examine them and hopefully, through education and self-awareness, shed light on these problems and offer solutions.
