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 four 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 naturally derived mineral pigments, restricting the works to a warm-toned, gentle palette. These organic pigments have been used from time immemorial and are sourced 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.  -Talia Roberts
