My 2022-23 art has looked, once again, at how the stories we tell affect our reality. I wanted to include this painting from my 2008 exhibition ‘We’ll Always Have Paris; bent tales from the sub-atomic’ because it seems a good time to interrogate how our current knowledge affects our capacity to consider other realities. Nothing has shaken our centuries of thought as much as quantum physics. So, when reading about the ‘uncertainty principle’ or the ‘many worlds theory’ I was inspired by stories that had shaken my idea of reality. That had included Wuthering Heights, the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë which I read in my Melbourne studio in 1989. In this novel Brontë’s character Heathcliff (as the observer) is watching the two characters Catherine/Cathy (the subject) while trying to reconcile that one is alive and one is dead (like Schrödinger’s Cat). Like Heathcliff I too “fell out of time” and in complicity with Heathcliff, I left linear time for just an instance. A narrative forced me to either choose Heathcliff’s reality or say, “It’s only a novel” and return to my world. It was quite memorable and the idea stuck. What if a story was the real time machine? What if technology was secondary to the mind’s effect on physics? What a waste of all those toys.
