“ We are not only living in time; we are living time; we are time.”
- Georges Poulet
The elusiveness of time finds itself intertwined within the complexity of our everyday life, the world and essentially existence. Collectively our everyday is somewhat governed by this linear notion of time. Parallel to this, exists a continuous rhythm of subtle movements and changes. These subtle shifts, when consciously observed and brought to focus, present an opportunity for a discontinuity in time to be experienced.
As an observer of time, my work reflects strongly time’s current and its subtle changes and movements made. The passing of time is explored through a multi-disciplinary body of work where each interval phase imbedded within time’s fluidity is given form through a repetitious and diaristic manner. In order to acknowledge and make tangible the fleeting nature of time; the internalised and externalised everyday experience of time is brought into examination; the everyday notion of existence working as the point of departure.
With an ingrained desire to detect the appearance of times flux, I am driven by my own personal intimacy to dissect, mark and measure time. Through an algorithmic methodology the passing of time is emphasised by constructing personal parameters that work as a means to record and recollect these everyday passages and transient moments. Habitual by nature do we each hold an internal mechanism that seeks to recollect in oder to unify with the external.
Imbedded in the movement of time is that gnawing knowing of life’s impermanence. Everything is in constant flux. A continuity of successive moments. Perhaps, if perceived, each successive moment holds in itself a timelessness. Our lives then, could amount to an endless totality of reoccurring, unbounded moments.
