Adam O’Day’s By Candlelight
Spiritus Pizza, Provincetown, MA
Reception: Friday, July 24th, 6-8pm
By Candlelight gathers together the fragments of memory, ritual, humor, and wonder that have shaped my recent work. Sea life, candles, televisions, driftwood, rainbows, and other recurring symbols become unlikely companions, each carrying traces of personal mythology while inviting viewers to live in their own stories. I am drawn to the tension between the sacred and the absurd, the beautiful and the grotesque, where familiar objects feel transformed by darkness and imagination. Working intuitively, I allow narrative to emerge through color, gesture, and symbolism instead of fixed realities. By Candlelight is an invitation to slow down, to linger in the glow, and to discover moments of wonder, and recognition within the flickering light of the unknown.
