There is still time I

There is still time I is part of a series titled “Landscapes of Time”. This series of fibre and textile works of imaginary landscapes viewed from above represent life in progress and the passage of time. The uniform ribbon thread and the repetitive nature of the techniques used by the artist reinforce the consistent, rhythmic passage of moments. Using different stitching techniques, the artist differentiates between big life events and the seemingly mundane moments in between. Both are essential in creating the landscape but here the mundane is elevated as a type of commentary on a fast-paced society where little value is given to them. For the artist, this is where authentic ideas are born and where change can happen, where there’s time to connect with nature and one another. The use of texture and detail entices the viewer to take a closer look at how they spend their time, carving a uniquely scarred landscape. In this specific work the perception that “there is still time” is a comforting thought both personally and for society at large. Comfort and hope are conveyed through the use of soft materials, colour and a sense of space.
