Neon meets nature at Ojai’s Porch Gallery by Emily Dodi
“Ojai is all aglow. The source of illumination is Article 16: Selected Works by Lisa Schulte at Porch Gallery. The title is a mischievous wink at an Ojai city ordinance that outlaws neon signs and architectural elements with the exception of a two-foot-square OPEN sign. When told about the law, Schulte’s response is a playful, “Let’s rock this town.” (Note: you can’t spell “article” without “art.”) Schulte is the best kind of outlaw, thumbing her nose at the notion that neon has any boundaries at all.”
