The diagonals of light that tell time, as in an Edward Hopper diner, are one of the central subjects of Tom Peterson’s work. Every architectural surface reveals a sundial, where brightness and shadow tick away. There is something here of rendering the past as pure form, with window surfaces reflecting the moment of the photograph back upon itself.
