From Pat Hickman: Traces of Time
Traces of Time , Installation © 2011

In her work, Pat takes on time – holding it back, running with it. With visual metaphors such as river teeth and rust, she explores the unavoidability of disintegration, the inevitability of change, and the transformative power of attention and memory.
In this exhibition, she is remembering forward.
