This painting with time/space stamp, is one that lies close to my heart as it expresses much of my experience that followed in 2020 and 2021, and surely of when I snapped the image: the empty space, the lone figure... Having lived and traveled extensively in the Mid- and Southwest of America I truly lost my heart to the desert/rural and urban landscapes out there.
While painting, one can describe a
snippet of time and space that would otherwise be lost in between cracks
of pavement, fractions of seconds. In this case I retrieved it with
paint, creating a new space with a different time stamp, an echo.
Some
of these 'object trouvés' find their way to a work, others don't but
live on in the 'fabric' of my studio, just as well, I was happy though
to give this one a try.
