Kimberly Poppe’s photographic series of abstract seascapes is inspired by the concept of 'eventide'—an ancient term for the end of the day or evening. Each image in this series captures the serene transition of dusk, twilight, or “eventide” in places where tides influence the landscape, such as oceans and salt lakes. The series explores the mesmerizing interplay of the natural elements—earth, water, air, and fire—at these magical times of day.

Inspired by Kimberly's long-standing obsession with Mark Rothko’s paintings and the meditative quality of his work, each photograph is crafted using slow shutter speeds and deliberate camera movements. This technique blends these elemental forces into visual poems that reflect the tranquility and beauty of the natural world. The "Eventide" series captures the essence of minimalist photography while bringing together the soothing qualities of seascapes and abstract photography. These photography prints not only portray a moment in time but also invite viewers into a space of reflection and calm, embodying the meditative spirit at the heart of the series.

In "Eventide," Kimberly takes us to the edge where sea meets sky and day transitions into evening. These abstract seascapes hum and slide between clarity and abstraction, leaving viewers on the brink of fluid twilight. The compositions offer long, sometimes sliding, views into the distance, drawing you in with distant glimmers of reflected light or flattening out as if by a haze of weather, reminiscent of Modernist color field paintings.

These photographs convey the visceral experience of standing before a changing, liminal environment. The calming, cleansing, and sometimes turbulent effects of a sea view go beyond accurate photographic depiction, seeking instead to capture the feeling of being immersed in the view itself during a moment of transition.

“These meditative visions of seascapes capture what we all crave, not the infinite, but time. Shot through long exposures, these soothing images offer us the promise of calm through color, light, and water." —Adriana Marquez, art curator

"Poppe’s work has an immense feeling of spirituality. In her own words, she creates art that 'gives people's minds the space to rest'. Shot through long exposures at dusk, the weather, light, and water create an illusion of floating bands of color, culminating in a single moment of perfection." —Mandy Poernig, art curator
