"A Quarter Until Now"
is a visually intriguing piece that plays with elements of time and texture. The central design features a circular form divided into distinct sections, with textures and colors that draw the eye toward the center. The outer orange ring has a cracked, almost desert-like texture, suggesting age, erosion, or the passage of time. Inside, a smooth, cool blue circle provides contrast, evoking a sense of calmness or stillness amidst the surrounding roughness.
Radiating lines from the center resemble the markings of a clock, with sharp, pointed shapes indicating a specific time. The title, "A Quarter Until Now," invites interpretation, perhaps alluding to the concept of time just before the present moment, a fleeting instance caught before the “now” arrives. The small burst of light at the top of the piece adds an element of brightness and focus, almost like the ticking hand of a clock caught in motion, highlighting the immediacy of the present.
