Time Is Hardcore

My Mum often says that ‘time is elastic’, and that had never felt more apt than during the pandemic. Through the dark days of lockdown, time puckered in to pass at an agonising glacial pace. When we were free, time puffed out like a helium balloon and floated to the ceiling before we could catch the string.

The three little paintings in this series explore the idea of time being stretchy, and they took a crazy amount of time to paint. But when I started them it turned out that time went all helium on me, and I was so involved in them that it sped up a long lockdown exponentially! Time is precious, Time is exact, Time is relative, Time is the fourth dimension, Time is elastic. Thanks, Time for being so HARDCORE.
