Can a moment of time exist on a two-dimensional surface?

This exegesis forms part of an ongoing enquiry on the concept of time. Artist, Barnett Newman sought the ‘physical sensation of time’ in his painting. My research questions, through a program of creative work, whether a moment in time can be represented in a two dimensional art work; or if we only experience the sensation of time passing, as we are viewing it. A key issue within this creative practice-based approach, is to examine if empty visible space within an artwork ‘ignites’ a sense of time; if a visualisation of empty space can capture an event, an awareness of the immediacy of a moment experienced in the studio. / Master of Arts (Honours) in Fine Art
