Trampled Rabbit Snare, 2024 100cm x 50cm
Oil on canvas
‘In Real Time’ was the prompt given. How can time be perceived accurately. Every moment is the past due to the neurological delay between experience and understanding. However, nostalgia seems to hit before either of those things. It’s a sharp ucontrolled shock solely derived on experience. ‘Trampled Rabbit Snare’ is a painting of envy, the envy of lost memories. The nostalgia in my life is purely experience due to the fuzzy memories of my childhood. The table divides my current worn out and wethered self against my younger self of pure brilliance and innocence. In an attempt to regain the experiences of my younger self, bets of my own current memories are placed over a game of poker. The painting of a t-shirt resembles the memory items of clothing hold; how the sight of used clothes trigger a sense of nostalgia.
