Those familiar with Chontos' work might recall the influences of travel and exploration during her wandering as she discovered the differences of light and culture throughout the world. The paintings created for A Time of Sand have profited from her staying still in the deep countryside of South Western France giving her an opportunity to enjoy and experience this singularity. She has been witness to the changing elements and seasons and their effects on a single place. These works are visual notes, and deep reflections of her personal journey as she observed changes in light and time, like the moving sand in an hourglass.
