EquiUmbra

Acrylic and colored pencil on gessoed aluminum rod, 6 feet tall

45 degree tilting rod painted with winning lottery numbers (Mega Millions) from the past year. I hoped the lean would seem fixed between falling and rising, as the winning numbers represent a transformative data set that could elevate or burden a life. The title, EquiUmbra, refers to the time when the angle (altitude) of the sun is equal to 45 degrees. At this moment, there are equal amounts of light and shadow - the exact transition point/angle between day and night.
