Artist Comments
Figures walk along a shadowy path, blending into the dark background. Above, a supermoon watches over the scene. A worn ticket strip runs horizontally across the middle, while an old watch rests on driftwood in the corner. Inspired by memories of late evenings on the Jersey Shore, the artwork captures the romance of summer nights by the sea and the fleeting passage of time. Among other things, artist Libby Ramage used charcoal, acrylic paint, handmade paper, and a clock face to create this piece.
