“For physicists following Albert Einstein’s relativity theory, time and space form co-equal parts of the larger concept ‘space-time’. His contemporary, René Magritte, the Belgian surrealist painter, was particularly interested in painting objects — such as rocks — as if defying gravity.”

“Variable and indeterminate conditions of acceleration are expressed as a polynomial in time. In the timing of this unexpected photograph, during building renovations at the residency in Portugal, both I and the rock were captured in a polynomial moment, as described by the early twentieth-century artist and the scientist.”

One of two photographic works on time and ruin made in the valley, with Ravaged by Time; both were shown in Sticky Time at The Viewing Room (formerly St Lorient), Pretoria, curated by Gwenneth Miller.
