“...the imagination augments the values of reality.” (Gaston Bachelard).
Drawing upon T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets, the work is part of an ongoing exploration of transience, time and place. The pieces exhibited inform and interact with each other, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of time and being. Images are overlaid, superimposed and effaced to create a palimpsest where boundaries are blurred. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an impression is fabricated. It is the relationship between the seemingly disparate elements within this body of work that allow it to function, enabling the viewer’s imagination to occupy the liminal spaces. |
