installation


Unfortunate Ironies, Part One.
Canvas, tube light, cardboard box.

This final piece has now been installed as part of our exhibition, Blink.
Painting is, by it's very nature, a slow and thoughtful process. It is a process very much at odds with the way in which we live our lives today, where all information can be instantly accessed, and waiting is something we are increasing less prepared to do. Internet shopping is our main leisure activity; we worship at the shrine of Amazon.
The canvas bears the layers of history, and yet it has no place in history.
It is temporary, and we do not care.
