Wendy Jean Hyde
Artist Statement
"...While we regret that the present is not like the past and despair of its ever becoming the future, its innumerable inscrutable habits lie in wait for their meaning..."
Diane Arbus, 1963
Is it possible to capture the past and future - the coming and going - simultaneously? Seeking help and advice from friends and strangers to design and build an apparatus to do just that, I realized that explaining the design of the apparatus was not a challenge. The materials used to build it were attainable and common. It was the logic and viability of its function that became incomprehensible.
Traveling back to see a bear I visited years ago delivered me face to face with the realization that in the changing archives of the wild a bear cannot do laps. He has lost his purpose yet he still swims.
