Positives: Painting in the Pandemic
2021 Online booklet exhibition of NCAD students in partnership with the NTMA Sports and Social Club |
Time Sequence is a positive outcome of the pandemic. The painting reflects the process of attempting to document time through the isolation of Lockdown. During the pandemic many individuals experienced personal and collective hardships. Amongst these hardships, was the sudden abundance of unrequested free time. This disruption of the status quo transpired as feelings of lost time and the wastage of time. Time Sequence depicts the evolution of these feelings into positive engagement and productivity. Individuals began to quantify time through active validation such as learning to play the mandolin or studying the transitoriness of clouds. These mundane interactions grant agency over time. This progression quantified time through the eternal days of lockdown.
