Glimpses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My drawings are inspired by a passion for art, culture and physics. In these works, I was looking at capturing glimpses of time\u2014what Henri Bergson [1] called \u2018duration\u2019. In my artworks, I aimed to explore duration to convey a sense of space\/time, offering different perspectives and insights.\u00a0 The accretion of marks made in the drawings expresses the relevance, relativity, and meaning of what was perceived and experienced. These marks are indexical to what was being questioned, critiqued, and intuited. The drawings offer temporal glimpses of space\/time. Every layer led to speculative questions about the observer\u2019s role concerning what is seen and comprehended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we were to see everything in the world as a continual flow of particular sets of events, then every characteristic that makes up time, we would only glimpse at a blur, or a mist brought about by an action. Carlo Rovelli\u00a0[2]\u00a0writing on Ludwig Boltzmann concept of entropy, stated, \u201cis nothing other than the number of microscopic states that our blurred vision of the world fails to distinguish.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This level of microscopic states blurs and disrupts our classical comprehension of time. The concept of events was something revealed to me through Rovelli\u2019s book \u2018Order of Time\u2019. The drawings I was producing aligned in my mind with his writing \u2014 in creating the drawings to find glimpses of meaning \u2014 it was strange to find these glimpses revealed in Rovelli\u2019s book. Every different event that happens is happening within multiple spatiotemporal relations depending on the particulars of what is perceived. In other words, regarding my drawings, this exists through every mark being a constituent of an event. Each event is created from a macro and microscopic coalescence\u2014 a holistic conceptual network of consciousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The drawing surface contains marks created from drawing in real-time selected science fiction movies\u2014 where every scene has been carefully manicured and designed to express a context of what is being represented \u2014 a prophetic image of a possible future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, one drawing in the series is inspired by the Fritz Lang film Metropolis, made in 1927, the same year that Werner Heisenberg presented his paper on uncertainty, which exposes a powerful dystopian view of the future.\u00a0\u00a0The events accretion of marks in the drawings are partially overpainted with white paint to eradicate preconceptions, archetypes and seduction. These eradications become substrates, enabling new gestures to be created from intuitive processes of reflection of what is seen.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This inner and outer synthesis of a comprehension of matter changes what is experienced and expressed. The accumulation of marks processed enables glimpses of meaning from alternative visions of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
