TOM PALIN
Blenheim Walk
13 December - 28 January
"We are at times too ready to believe that the present is the only possible state of things." (Marcel Proust)
To me, a painting is a document of undecidedness and possiblity. Its objecthood (material) and otherness (representation) allow for a perpetual to-ing and fro-ing between what is and what might be/what has been.
