Time shapes and structures our experience of being in the world. In “Phenomenology of Perception” Merleau-Ponty proposes that time is an interconnected whole: the past flows into the present, and the present opens up possibilities for the future. Rather than moving through time as if it were a container, we inhabit time with our being. This lived experience of time is intertwined with our embodiment. Thus time is not an abstract concept outside of ourselves; we encounter time through our bodies, movements, and sensory perceptions. The body is not merely an object existing in objective space and time; instead, it serves as the conduit through which we engage with the world.
In this series I have used a diagram of the tile classification plan for an auditorium in Torrevieja. The diagram details the tiles required to create a curved surface encompassing curved space. Through overprinting and the brief insertion of a stencilled shape there is a destabilization of our reading of the diagram, the surface of the page and the nature of the form suspended in the “fabric” of interwoven lines
