The Greek word for time, kairos, (in contrast to our common concept of chronological time, chronos), denotes an experience of time that is qualitative, where actions are taken at just the right moment, like a dance with the universe. In this painting, the hourglass reminds us of that ever-present chronological passage of time. But the sheer beauty of that voluminous cascading white cloth, dappled with light and shadow, evokes a pause. The hourglass is forgotten. In our longing for kairos, we gently and intentionally arrange that beautiful fabric, and quietly dance with the universe.
This painting has been selected for a special exhibition of Orange County Artist Members of the California Art Club held at Casa Romantica in San Clemente, March 19 - May 24, 2026.
