Tomorrow Remembers Yesterday
Acrylic, wood, metal leaf, canvas over shaped support
72 x 44 inches

Commentary:

Color is central to this piece’s visual appeal and the echoing rectangles recall Josef Albert “Homage to the Square”. The shaped canvas with stripes recollects Frank Stella’s first shaped canvases. A sort of continuum arises, as seen in the central rectangles one atop the other, of the past giving rise to the present giving rise to the future. One could consider time becoming past, present, future arising together in any given moment.


I found some notes I had jotted down earlier to myself that rather relates to my thought process around this painting: Time is in the now; now is not in time. One can only remember the past as now and imagine the future as now. Now contains all time; now is not affected by time. To be in the present moment is life beyond death, not after death.
