Look for the “Luminous Ravine” on the New Herriman Campus

Discovering the feeling of walking through a geode-filled ravine in the new Juniper Building, on Salt Lake Community College’s new Herriman campus, is a delightful surprise. The glass art installation Luminous Ravine, by Michele R. Gutlove, captures sunlight throughout the day as it illuminates each level of a three-level staircase.

As an architect, Gutlove recognizes the power of light to shape space and the power of glass to shape light. As a watercolor artist, she has a passion for color, transparency and depth inherent in the medium. She sees glass as “three-dimensional watercolors.”

One of the best times to witness the illumination is around the summer solstice, from about 3:30-4:30 p.m., when sunlight slices through the ravine and illuminates the glass at the third level, then the glass located at the second level, and finally the glass on all three levels.

Gutlove created this piece to elicit the wonder of hiking in the Wasatch or Oquirrh Mountains and discovering a geo-filled ravine.

Luminous Ravine is on permanent loan to the college from the Utah State Public Art Collection. It was commissioned by the Utah Department of Arts & Museums as part of the Percent For Art Act.
