Description

Eight Minutes Ago is an ink jet print on a sheet of paper made by the artist especially for this work. The photograph is of a landscape showing a wide panorama of a farm field with the stubble from a harvested corn crop. On the horizon we see a farm yard with a silo and house. This is where the artist grew up.

There are two texts photoshopped along the horizon line. To the left of the farm yard, in a printed sans-serif type face, is written “The sun’s emission of gravitons keeps the earth from moving in a straight line now.” On the right is another text, this time in handwritten cursive letters. An arm holding a pencil enters the photographic space diagonally across the field in the bottom right corner, as if it is writing the words…”How to leave? How to come back? Small words gleaned from a place called home”.
