#tbt a painting I did many years ago about a fox and squirrel. And um, math, I guess. I called it 'I can see the fusion in your eyes' and it was part of my show @angellgallery called 'All the Carpeting in the World' which was terrific fun. #art #painting #oilpainting #anthropomorphicweirdness #darkpalepaintings

John Clang - Time

Artist’s statement:

“A series that involves recording a location, to show the passing of time in a montage style. There is a sense of intimate intricacy of how time moves, and how people, albeit in a different time, are actually closer to one another and traveling in the same shared space. I’ve always been intrigued by the constant subtle changes in my urban environment. Every subtle shift affects my feelings and thoughts, hence my images respond acutely as a poetic reflection of myself in this environment. Working on this series, I explore how time moves in this seemingly static urban space. The people become the moving energy flowing through this space, marking the changes, forming the time. These images also explore my fascination that there are probably many time dimensions in this universe. We may have a ‘life’ that exists similarly on a different path, one minute before or after the one we’re living now. We merely just exist in this current dimension, and sometimes when time paths collide, we have déjà vu experience.”

Is Reading the New Therapy?

“In a secular age, I suspect that reading fiction is one of the few remaining paths to transcendence, that elusive state in which the distance between the self and the universe shrinks.”

Ceridwen Dovey writes on the many forms of bibliotherapy.
