“The first time I really looked at light through wine, I had an intimation that seeing beauty is seeing a transcendent truth – beyond time, beyond thought. The way the wine captured the light mesmerized me. The awareness that occurs when you observe this light, when time is suspended, inspires my work. My work deliberately re-creates that timeless consciousness.” – Robert Cameron.
Ten Minutes Past Twelve is from Cameron’s body of work titled 8 Minutes Away. Eight minutes is the time it takes for the light you are observing in the liquid to travel from its source, the sun. The objects associated with time are usually round: clocks; watches; sundials; celestial bodies like the sun, moon and constellations in the night’s sky. The small bubble in each vial is not air but a vacuum of space which prevents the wine from aging. This fragile, delicate little detail reminds us of the ever evasive present moment that is always shifting along the linear axis of time.
