The Counting Of Change
Ellie Chalmers-Robinson

25.10.24 - 05.11.24

I frequently think about landscapes when I am painting, particularly the experience of being within a natural landscape. In scrutinising the incongruous logic of time, theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli postulates that the human perception of time, that time unfolds forward and linearly from the past, to the present and into the future, is ultimately an evolutionary product of our brains and behaviour trying to “get somewhere”. Rovelli contends that it is the ensemble of memory and subsequent anticipation of the future that gives us this sense of space when perceiving and thinking about what time is. Landscapes embody this felt space. The spectacle of transformations observed and experienced within a landscape reflect the movement between order and disorder, between life and death, between the strange and familiar, between safety and danger, between the visible and unseen, echoing our emotional human perception of time and our ultimate vulnerability to it.
