In As Seasons Change, three warriors tell time. The low angle of the sun tells one that night is coming on quicker and falling faster, that they should think about getting where they need to be before dark. The other two tell time by the length of their shadows on the dusting of snow. These signs mark the imminence of winter, despite the yellow leaves that seem to say it’s still autumn here. There are questions to ask now. Are we ready for winter? Are we camped in a good place? A safe place? A place near water? Have we hunted enough, gathered enough to last through the bitter moons? What remains to be done? What can be done in the time we have? What will have to wait? Winter won’t wait. Neither can we. This is the drama behind the dramatic light in Martin Grelle’s As Seasons Change.
