A Circumstantial Evidence of Time I

Oil on Canvas 80cm x 160cm There is this moment between moments when the sea is just about to retreat backwards and the time between your breaths. What is the true nature of time? What is our relationship to it? Can we see it or touch it? Or can we really only know it though the mind. We can see it and know it in our faces as we age, in the rocks as they are worn by the sea, in traces of our cultural totems that we inherit and instinctively feel in our beings, but we can only do this presently.
