Amidst The Flowers I Tell the Hours

Angela Hackett

7th - 28th August 2021

This simple, poetic motto is etched on the face of a sundial to invite passersby to pause and be mindful of the fleeting nature of time. It has an air of the inquisitive and has a certain poignancy during this time of working in isolation as an artist.

The themes of the passing of time and mortality draw together this exhibition from two series of paintings of still life and window subjects. They permeate all aspects, objects, tones, colour and composition. Like the action of the sun on the ancient sundial, the paintings capture a moment, marking the time of day, recording the season. It is a comment on the act of painting in a world of accelerating change  - Angela Hackett
