(Without)Time « Life (Cycles)
Ages come and go, people are born and pass on. Cities are built and eventually decay and crumble. To a sentient being, “trapped” within the arrow of time, there are many beginnings and endings, perceived within the scope of one’s life. At times it can be hard to remember that one’s own beginning and ending, one’s period of time is but one tiny thread in the pattern that is matter and movement. We all acknowledge the beginning of our experience in this life, just as we all anticipate the finalization of it. Collectively, our human experience accounts for a fraction of a portion of the whole, yet to each individual it is the world. . .
The old man thinks about these things as he walks along the moss lined path. Beads of moisture cling to the soft carpet of moss, glittering with the muted light of the sun through the clouds like little pearls of brilliance. His short journey down this trail is simply another conglomeration of matter moving in space, colliding with other particles and bits of matter, obeying the universal “laws” that govern this physical universe for the time being. As he thinks this last thought he chuckles to himself. . . laws are such a human concept.
...Winter Landscapes At Northumbria University Art Gallery | Culture24
As winter approaches, Northumbria University has created a topical exhibition, Winter Landscapes, in its University Gallery, running from November 9 to December 22 2007.
Featuring a selection of artists, the exhibition promises to transport the visitor into bleak winter spaces, highlighting man’s mortality and vulnerability at the mercy of the elements.
Paul Gallagher captures his distant winter horizons by reinventing his sketches or digital camera shots with sand, soil or whatever natural materials come to hand. His work is small scale yet creates endless voids and illusions of eternity.
Sophie Benson’s images are often compared to daguerrotypes – early 19th century photographs. Her images seem almost suspended in time, appearing as floating particles of pigment or frozen relics of a disappearing world.
Photographs of Brita Granström, caught painting outside whatever the weather, portray the artist’s dedication to her art. Oblivious to the energy of nature around her, she reflects a raw sense of the elements in the paint strokes, shapes and colours of her work.
