Summer Turns to High (Revisited) forms part of my Time & Tide Collection – that signifies the passing of time and changing of the tides.

It drills into the summer quadrant of life. The quote “Circle citronella candles” contained within it is taken from R.E.M’s song “Summer Turns to High”. It directly references the ticking clock of aging, and contrasts the rough with the smooth and darker shadows tinging the summer sun. Although essentially a joyous time, there is a bittersweet element through the citronella candle reference.
