"All that really belongs to us is time; even he who has nothing else has that." – Baltasar Gracian
Expanding on the artists on going body of work focused on activity, material experience and the performative nature of process, this project explores the physicality of the body and its relation to time. An underlying motivation is to explore how the flow of time and the flow of movement are interconnected. How the invisible time of duration keeps the disappearing body visible. Touching Time is an exploration of thinking, feeling and relating to the poetics of daily life.
In Touching Time Joanne will investigate how we measure time through activity and material experience in order to make the body visible through the invisibility of time. The body as fragile and delicate, strong and sturdy, measured and improvisational will be explored and revealed. Ultimately in this project, touch and all the senses are addressed and activated in order to help us stay ‘in touch’ with the material world.

This exhibition draws together a diverse group of artists who have abandoned colour in order to pursue light, shadow and other drivers of form. Engaging with modes of display that shift between the pictorial, sculptural and experiential, the artists’ works oscillate between image, object, and installation as a means of investigating the space of the gallery.
