‘Blurred images in my paintings evoke the transitory nature of personal experiences, the passage of time, and the ever-changing relationship to one’s past.’ – Brett Weir
This series continues Weir’s focus on memory, belonging and drift. The artist’s fascination with surface, material and colour and his concern for science and metaphysics, is reflected in experimentation with viscosity and organic patination. Shifting surfaces recall glittering celestial maps, organic compositions and sonic resonances while contrasting colour and form create an energy that seeps through the surface of each panel.
