the brief mystery of time

2008 

acrylic, impasto, modelling compound, sand, wood, charcoal, paper, cubic zirconia set in 9ct gold, and a key... on canvas 

101cm x 71cm x 15cm

The true nature of time continues to elude us.  Is it an existent river flowing past an arbitrary reference point called the present, a present moment burning future fuel into an ashen past, or some even more thought-defying mystery tearing at the complacency of our intellection with its sparkling simplicity?
