Oil on Canvas
41 x 73 inches
6:29 pm is a series of twelve paintings that depict the same place at the same time, on the same day, every month for a year. I wanted to study how the light changes due to the seasons and how those shifts completely change what you feel while looking at it. They are arranged in a calendar formation to further document the change at Pikes Beach over the course of one full year. I chose Pikes because that is the beach I grew up frequenting every summer before it became my escape from reality. The photos were taken on the 13th of every month at 6:29 pm because that was the time I was born, as well as all the numbers in my birthday added together. Additionally, the size of the piece as a whole, spaces included, adds up to the coordinate points of the beach where the time study was done.
