In
the chilled air of early spring, Lake Huron stretches into a
crystalline body with no end in sight. The second largest of the great
lakes, Huron borders most of Michigan’s east coast. In Ann Mikolowski’s
“Ghostrider” (1988), thin layers of oil paint split the lake’s horizon
into a sweeping gray and a turbulent blue that, together, evoke Mark
Rothko or Barnett Newman in their consuming passage to the sublime.
