Abstract Wood Sculpture - The Root of Time No.1 - Western Red Cedar - Freestanding, Modern, Contemporary, Original, Dynamic, Natural, Smooth Sculpture

Is there a root of time? Einstein put time and space together into two axes of the same dimension. Krishnamurti distinguishes clearly between the time on the clock (which is bound to space) and psychological time which deals with the ideas of past and future. I title this piece "The Root of Time" as a mysterious and thought invoking one. As physicists dig deeper for an understanding of the smallest subatomic particles and quantum fields, others are digging into parallel questions from an existential and experiential perspective. In zen for example, it has been stated that time and space are constructs of thought and that the state of satori or awakening is one where these two factors are not. The idea of space is constructed by thought and requires a designated center or starting point for measurement which cannot ever exist in reality. Time too must be a concept in so far that it is measured because this also requires a designated starting and stopping point which do not exist outside of abstraction. Whether time and space exist in reality, outside of abstraction, is another question. The form as visual metaphor to such inquiry represents mystery and interplay between time and space, form and emptiness. There is a sense of motion in the still sculpture, a motion of interracting parts which subtly yet dynamically engage with each other. The material portions may seem to almost cradle the absence, a gesture calling forth inquiry into the unknown nature of our physical existence.
