I'm working on a video installation piece for this exhibition happening next week in Reading at the Brock Keep Gallery at OpenHand OpenSpace studios. It is titled 'Time: real & imaginary' and is inspired by the poem of the same name by Samuel Taylor Coleridge:
Time, Real and Imaginary AN ALLEGORY ON the wide level of a mountain’s head (I knew not where, but ‘twas some faery place), Their pinions, ostrich-like, for sails outspread, Two lovely children run an endless race, A sister and a brother! This far outstripp’d the other; Yet ever runs she with reverted face, And looks and listens for the boy behind: For he, alas! is blind! O’er rough and smooth with even step he pass’d, And knows not whether he be first or last. and a line by Chris Kraus from her book I Love Dick – ‘Playing the vibrations between here and there and then and now’ (written when Kraus was in her 40s as I am now). Time is as an absolute yet as I have grown older it feels utterly elastic.
