Starting off with abstract painting, and then incorporating more figurative objects, I have come to express time in various ways. There is a subjective approach towards time, such as the feeling of time passing fast or slow, when time is actually passing at the same pace. There is also the objective method of recording time, such as the clock, which has sets a measureable standard. This combination of subjectivity and objectivity are shown in my art as the abstract and figurative component in my pieces. The subjective parts of the art are shown artistically in painterly ways, and figuratively and diagrammatically for the elements of science and mathematics.
Observing this collection of artworks, one is invited to question time personally and generically as well. Symbols such as passage ways, doors, chairs, black holes, and equations can be interpreted - passages and door are placed in order to transmit a sense of transition, beginnings or endings; chairs, as objects which are altered, or not, by the passing of time. Is time passing for objects that are not being observed? On the other hand, there is a more “standard” manner for understanding and explaining time - mathematicians and physicists explain it through graphs and equations.
My art allows for one to question if this is really the most appropriate way of explaining a concept of something that can’t be seen or touched.
