Jeffrey Blondes
JEFFREY BLONDES creates long-form videos, film-still editions, and drawings that illuminate the often-overlooked rhythms of the natural world. Since 1990, his practice has centered on the subtle cycles of landscapes and their relation to the passage of time. Attuned to the delicate interplay of weather, light, and planetary motion, Blondes transforms these shifts into works that invite viewers to slow down and recognize the profound significance of even the smallest changes unfolding around us each day.
