Time passes, we are present only briefly. Our ‘here’ temporally changed, our ‘there’ is now a memory. We cannot have a thought without having a reference point to a past experience or a future one. Time is never linear, our minds perceive reality. My practice acknowledges this and my drawings for this project are a resting place on my temporal journey. The additions or reductions made by other artists in this dialogue may change this visual memory’s appearance but not the experiential memory that prompted my drawing….unless we take a leap into the world of quantum mechanics and MWI ….but that’s for another ‘drawn dialogue’. In starting this project I determined to just continue with my practice without consideration of the parameters of the project. In reality I found that considering how my drawings might be received and how I could provide surfaces and marks that enabled ease of addition, initially became foremost in my thoughts. To overcome this I had to take some time out and separate these thoughts from the drawings I made to ensure the outcomes were true to my person and to my practice. In short I created drawings in the moment, from my subconscious memory and to my mind already complete.
