Amelia E. Foster and Donna Charging: Half-Life: the time required
What happens when we lose our Ourselves (the Self, imbued with culture, history and a memory), and what鈥檚 left behind? Memory fades, histories can be repressed, cultures lost. The word 鈥渉alf-life鈥 may be defined as the time it takes for half the amount of a given essence to become disintegrated, to undergo a process, or to be eliminated naturally from its substrate. In Half-Life: the time required, Amelia E. Foster and Donna Charging present recent works that embody this concept through time-based ephemeral sculptures and multi-dimensional landscapes that trace shifts of being throughout distant epochs.
Half-Life: the time required lingers in the space between erosion and endurance, where the quiet persistence of the past remains, continually shaping our prospects for a future yet to unfold.
