Dwight Eschliman Color of Light Opening: January 21, 3-5pm

Sarah Shepard Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with Marin-based photographer Dwight Eschliman entitled Color of Light. Reflecting on the passage of time and how it seems to almost cruelly accelerate as one ages, Eschliman meticulously catalogs and deconstructs time through photographs, breaking it into one-second increments—86,400 of them in a single day, in a single place, repeated in multiple locations.

Color of Light features 5 images photographed during one day, a compilation of 86,400 photographs taken of one fixed point in the sky over 24 consecutive hours, each becoming a pixel in a larger composition. The depiction of a single day’s 86,400 seconds both abstracts the day and reinterprets it, offering the viewer a new interpretation of time and space. Eschliman balances a conceptual awareness of time and technical mastery of the medium. The exhibition will feature 10 additional images capturing time frames from 10 minutes to 2 hours.

This exhibit runs January 21 - March 1, 2023.
