time proof
No matter how banal or insignificant an action may seem, it is confined for eternity by the nature of time. “time-proof” is a recent photographic project consisting of small scale photographs; some taken by me, others discovered in thrift store photo albums or in dusty shoeboxes, which are then drawn and marked upon. These printed photographs are tangible remnants of a permanent occurrence and the layer of marks upon them depict a change in nature, architecture of space and movement of light that may be possible as we proceed through time. The marks intercept the original birth of the image and then by their action, both visualize and embody another event in the continuum.
The images become landscapes for the exploration of the permanence of actions and the trace of moments through time. These image-objects carry the viewer from the past to the present simultaneously, revealing potential for the future.
And here we are, now and eternally, in this present time. We have not traveled away from the original moment, for we could not even if we tried. Each moment is here with us, being altered, touched, and acted upon. Choices have been made and our only option in each present moment is to react to past reactions, to alter alterations and to continue in the path of time with these objects keeping us as living time machines.
