THE EROSION OF MEMORY There is a calm presence and clarity in this painting which is aided by the lack of people or thoughts within it. Just as in "The Awakening" a ladder indicates something has left the moment, leaving an uninterrupted, endless sky, and a stillness. Does the world exist when there is no-one to remember it? What do objects look like, when there are no concepts of them? And what is it that holds a car together? Is it more the concept of a car, rather than the nuts and bolts, which hold it together for a time? When the car disappears from the mind, energy ceases to enter the car in the form of maintenance, the car then erodes and the electrons scatter to the winds. It is the idea of a car which holds it together, more so than the bolts. |
