Color is time; the element that reveals the passage of time, to make it visible to human eye. Think of the shifting hues of the sunset, the quiet fade of night as morning light arrives, or the turning leaves that mark the movement of the seasons. Color is the trace of time, a silent clock.
This body of work, Daylight Saving, is an exploration on the sun, its presence as light, and its absence as shadow. It examines color as an event happening between the object, light and the observer. It is a closer look of how white sunlight fractures into color as they fall upon different surfaces, a study on the emotions that colors hold, shadows stretching, moments lingering. It is an admiration of the sun; it shines always, it never quits; it is there even when it’s not seen, or is seen and is simply taken for granted.
