Abstract
Dusk to Dawn was created during a one-week period at Northwest Cape, where
the western-most point of Australia juts into the Indian Ocean. The photographs
chart the passage of time during this period on a number of levels of scale, from
the duration of the exposure (anything from minutes to hours), to the diurnal
time of the earth’s rotation through sunset to sunrise, and the cosmological time
recorded in the ancient light of distant stars, which may take thousands of years
to reach us. The camera, earth, sun, and stars are used as a kind of enormous
drawing machine, tracing both the artist’s presence in space and the flow of time
and light.
