Created by Edgar Leciejewski during his six-month residency with Fogo Island Arts, the works in Tones include a massive grid of 169 photographs of Fogo Island sunsets, photographic collages, and a large-scale composite image of a bookcase. Also featured are a series of precarious sculptures composed of broken crockery, glass and other debris tossed into the sea over the 200 years of island settlement, and collected by the artist along the seashore. At play within these works are attempts to reconcile seemingly opposing forces or phenomena, to incorporate the infinite within the specific, or to archive, stretch and condense our experience of time.

Available through the Fogo Island Shop.
