CLAREMONT — “I’d rather have beauty than sadness,” said Alison Zito. Zito, an artist in residence at the Claremont Makerspace, has created “Sacred Thresholds” marrying two visual symbols: arches and snowflakes.
Her first arch is built over the wide brick entry leading into the Makerspace lobby. This arch emulates the niches built over the doorways in Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia.
