Show Description:
"Time Dilation” is a visual conversation between artists Jon &
Lindsey Merrell, shown through individual, and collaboratively
layered, works. The phenomenon known as time dilation is a
component of the theory of relativity, and refers to the differing
rate of time and realities measured by two clocks. Jon and
Lindsey are those two clocks as they take a hard look at the
differences & similarities in their experiences over the last 5 years,
navigating lockdown, family dynamics, a life-threatening
accident, and a terminal diagnosis, together. It has felt like a blink
of an eye, yet an eternity.
Artist Statements:
My work aims to create a dialogue that highlights the peculiarity
and emotion of daily life, the inaccurate shift of memory, and a
processing of the internal, all within structured worlds.
