| Artist Statement |
Timeless Writing is a body of work that began on the 1st of January 2011 and continues presently.
The writing takes place in this very moment. What I have been taught to think is real and what is real prior to thinking gets intuitively recorded.
By using gestured mark making on a surface to record the present moment. The process has its emphasis on spontaneous action rather than conceptual thinking that leads to action. The tension of aliveness manifest in my body, gets recorded via the medium. In other words, the brush acts like an aerial, picking up this tension and then recording it through the action of non conceptual mark making on a surface, the resulting accumulation of which makes up the entire art piece.
The work is not outcome orientated but is recognized to appear as part of the totality of existence as it appears in the moment. It is a recording of this very moment, an abstract writing about what is taking place right now. The final art work is therefore not only about a past situation, but also about the very moment in which the viewer sees it.
This action of seeing taking place right in this very moment is that which allows the painting to appear. So although the art work was made in the past, it is seen in the present moment and as this, it also represents the manifest image of the present moment. It is therefore timeless, an ever present appearance... until it is not.
