The newsletter header graphic abstracts the top view of sculpture titled, 'Flashpoint'. Designed by public artists David and Eli Hess and commissioned by Pepco, the monumental-sized piece will be in front of the new Buzzard Point Pepco Substation across from DC United's new stadium under construction in SW Washington, DC. Gilmore was hired by the artists to collaborate on lighting the sculpture.
