Fall Frame TV art from a single painting: a candlelit autumn still life of pumpkins and a jug of harvest flowers, held on screen for ten silent hours in 4K — no music, no narration and no cuts, made to leave running as a screensaver on a Samsung Frame TV or any 4K screen, from late afternoon until the house goes to bed.
This one is lit by one candle. A big orange pumpkin, a pale striped one and two small ones sit on an old wooden table with a fold of rough linen, beside a cream stoneware jug crowded with hydrangea, rust dahlias, sunflowers, wheat and sprays of red berries. The only light is the candle in its brass stick, and everything else is painted in the glow it throws — the warm side of the pumpkins, the cream of the jug, the edges of the leaves — while the wall behind settles into deep, soft dark.
It is one image all the way through: no slideshow, no transitions, no zoom. What moves is the light. A soft pool of warm candlelight drifts slowly across the painting over the ten hours, so the glow is never in quite the same place twice — too slow to notice from one minute to the next, the way light shifts through a long autumn evening.
It is made for October and November, from the first cold evenings through Thanksgiving.
