Time Dilates

Jessie Brooks-Dowsett

Abstract 

An arts-led inquiry into the subjective nature of time and the way perception informs experience. These works are small manipulations of time, old artworks made in a different time, disassembled and rearranged to reconstruct them within this moment of time. Working through the arts to explore the way that we choose our perspective and in turn, our perspective constructs our experience.

Becoming attuned to perceiving 
each salient encounter made sensorial
skipping across time
we are formed and informed
reframed, reordered and remade through experience
we cultivate our perceptual acuity
to dislodge what has become compacted
and acknowledge the parallax movement of time
the requisite variety
where time dilates
to encompass the numerous dynamic
ways we experience and fold into each other
