Comprised of eight small canvases depicting candles and floral compositions set against a dark monochrome background, Sojourner Truth Parsons' set of paintings evokes the passage of time. The sequence has a cinematic quality, as each painting functions as a still frame that is related to the adjacent one. The graphic clarity of Parsons’ compositions functions as a misdirection, as color and shape remain in continuous flux, oscillating between representation and abstraction.
