Sunburned GSP #492 (North Slope Alaska - 24 Hours) 2011

Chris McCaw's "Sunburned GSP #492 (North Slope Alaska - 24 Hours)" (2011) is a large-scale photograph documenting the sun's movement across the sky in a 24-hour period. Created using a pinhole camera, the image captures the sun's path as a thin, sun-burned line against a mostly white background, creating a minimalist and striking representation of time and light. The piece is part of McCaw's ongoing series of "Sunburned" photographs, where he uses sunlight to create ephemeral, long-exposure images on photographic paper. The series is a testament to the artist's fascination with the sun and its effects on the landscape.
