phemeral Marks
In this current body of work, Timothy is exploring the relationship between mark making and the limitations of time.Transient nature and what we leave behind has interested him for some time now. When we are young we think that we have all the time in the world. Only later do we discover that time is a very precious asset.
What do we leave behind when this experiment we call life is over? We meet people on our journey who influence us and who we leave an impression on. We all leave impressions behind, some small some big and even some monumental. But when he recently heard that Elvis is being forgotten by the young today, it made him think how momentarily immortality can be. And aren’t we all secretly striving for immorality, in some form or another? And let me spin this even further, if we continue to treat planet Earth the way we are today, then one day there will be no humanity.
And hence there will be no one who will remember any mark we made.
