Redtree Times

Time Reverberation— Included in Continuum: The Red Tree at 25

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

–Jorge Luis Borges, Labyrinths (1962)

This is another new painting that is part of my Continuum show at the Principle Gallery which opens in just under two weeks. This piece is titled Time Reverberation and is 36″ high by 24″ wide on canvas.

Time Reverberation (featured prominently in the preview of the show in the June issue of American Art Collector) is indicative of the underlying theme of this show which, as I see it, is about our relationship with time. Some things seemingly remain constant yet everything continuously changes as time carries us along. It is so subtle that it often goes unnoticed.

Things seems the same but it never truly are. What we thought was is often but an echo from the past.

And, like time, the river keeps flowing.

That all sounds pretty cryptic, I know. But it’s early and I’m tired. I will try to explain it all more fully some other time. In the meantime, here’s a lovely piece from the great Bill Evans about that some other time.

Seems right for this moment.

Continuum: The Red Tree at 25, my 25th annual solo exhibit at the Principle Gallery in Alexandria, VA. opens with a reception on the evening of June 14, 2024. Time Reverberation and I will be there.
