Last Light/First Light, 2008 | Limited Edition Photograph

For over twenty years, I have devoted myself to capturing the elusive beauty of light that unfolds on the shortest day of the year. I venture in search of locations  representing a seamless horizon stretching east and west. I patiently observe as light edges toward disappearance, and then stay awake to witness its return in the morning. The cross is born from the serendipity of shooting a roll of 2 1/4 film at dusk and reusing the same roll at dawn, a process full of chance. The deliberate 90-degree rotation echoes the rotation of our planet as it moves in sync with the sun.

Last Light/First Light commenced in the year 2000 on the West Coast of the United States, when I was living in Oregon. This abstract photograph stands as a testament to light and time through the years. This photograph is the outcome of a double exposure, woven on December 21st and 22nd, 2008.

For a contemporary art collector, this landscape photograph is for sale for a limited time. It was made in a limited edition that consists of only 50 prints, each signed on the verso and framed with a refined white wooden frame. By acquiring one of these editions, you assume the role of a custodian, entrusted with carrying forth a visual narrative that offers a connection to the elements.
