I see time as pulsing, weaving, slipping and sliding briefly a still surface but mostly a constant current, now going slow and then rushing, moving alongside the times of other things and beings, touching and influencing each other and yet staying separate.  I have used the line to describe the cadence of time.  The line is also an indrawn breath and an outward breath - a thread of concentration and a means of continued focus. Every line is a complete journey but is only a thread in the infinite fabric of time.

 Each canvas has a watermark (sometimes two) of a set of six circles which represent the clock movements which try to measure and pin down time.  Since six circles can be nested in a total of 48 distinct ways without intersecting each other, there will be a total of 48 works in this series, each with a distinct arrangement of circles which are topographically different from the others. Each work records my existence in my time and acknowledges the existence and influence of others. 

 Some of the artworks are made on the reverse side of canvases that were stretched on student’s desks.  The students in my Maths classes were free to doodle, draw or write, on the canvases and add to the comments or drawings left by other students as a record of their musings over a period of time.   I have used these 'tablecloths' as a receptacle of their thoughts. Students' doodles are in multi-media - pencil, pen, highlighter, paint.  There was no restriction on what they could use.  On the reverse I have painted our time together in acrylic.

2023 to 2025 (on going).
