At great speed you catch up with light and time slows because information cannot outrun the light that delivers it. But is light the same as time? No – light is just a wave length. Time gives permission. Also if you cannot get to tomorrow now, then where is the matter in between tomorrow and now? In a field of probability? If so then what does it look like, that movement from the probability field into a recognisable world? There would have to be a point at which the recognisable world is half way between probability and actuality?

Like a tugging at the heart

Or a guttering candle

Or I think they might be coming

To

I think they’re on the way

Does the non-existent past look the same as the non-existent future?

Expended energy/potential energy? Do they look different – these non existent worlds?

Where is the tree in the immediate future? its right there right? Its available. So

Where is the tomorrow tree?

No – this painting is not an attempt to paint the once and future tree. I don’t work like that. This is just materials on a canvas. But sometimes a painting lends itself to an idea. In fact the way I work is more about actualising or windowing or accelerating or capturing the moment at which the fuzzy field of potential begins its collapse into a human now because for me that perfectly describes the very act of working with paint on canvas.
