Time Machine
“To lengthen time, fill it, if you have the chance, with a thousand new things” (Jean-Marie Guyau)
Time is often something stored, and then brought back to the surface through objects and memories. This ‘Time Machine’ visualises the timespan of Sorrel Madley's creative endeavours. A cowboy hat rests opposite a miniature toilet, adorned with a shrimp. Plaster casts mimic ceramic finishes. Rough meets smooth, fragile joins firm. It is a cabinet of experiences, which can be moved, rearranged, forgotten and rediscovered from moment to moment. The colours and details aim to capture the viewers’ attention, deliberately overstimulating their brain in order to slow down and expand their experience of time.
