This series is an earthly interpretation of the shifting light and mood during the twelve months Earth travels around the sun.

In this exhibition, a large sun is surrounded by eleven moons that are grouped into distinct sets, representing the four seasons. Each canvas was painted with small, sweeping brushstrokes that form a sphere containing two poles.

The paintings were made with natural earth and mineral pigments, restricting the works to a warm-toned, tranquil palette. These pigments have been used from time immemorial, taken directly from the ground, revealing geological information related to the formation of our planet. This series studies the impressions color has on our perception of time.

Movement, minerals, and magnetic fields merge together on the canvas to create a series undergoing a process of metamorphosis with each new position in Earth's path around the sun.
