Time Walking on Water

Peace Time
Acrylic on 3D board

Time releases the dove of peace but holds the sword of war behind her back. Ahead of time in the distant ground is the future forming, in the middle ground is a fire burning representing man and in the foreground behind Time is the past.

Ahead
Acrylic on Masonite 760mm x 600mm

Collection of the artist

The landscape is an amalgamation of several locations, hills from Pauatahanui, pool from East Harbour and a tree from National Park I use the long female figure to represent time and human presence. The distant hills look green and inviting but at that distance it is impossible to know if the place or time ahead will be different or similar to that which is left behind.

The fencing wire in the painting represents the humane perception of time as a liner event and the fence battens as the aging process and death.
