Timothy's first solo exhibition, The Garden of Unearthly Delights, launches at Tokyo's Diesel Denim Gallery Aoyama in August 2009. Commissioned through the Darkroom, Tim created a new series of moving images and print exclusively for the gallery. "A genesis story of meaning, existence and purpose, 'Garden of Unearthly Delights,' follows a simple creature meandering through life in darkness, believing itself to be the only object in existence. When the creature sees a mask lying in the darkness, it gains knowledge of time and space. Experiencing a moment that is different from the last sets one event apart from the next. Sensing a figure independent from its own movement allows the creature to understand its size in relation to the world and to other things. Putting the mask on, the creature loses its blindness and sees a symbol in the sky representing purpose. The creature follows a path reminiscent of life toward the symbol in the sky. In a clearing below the light, a tree sits making an allusion to the tree of Life. In its branches hangs a strange pod; a seed of life. A pregnant creature emerges from the darkness and performs a mating ritual wit the first creature. A child is born from the creature's realisation of a perfect counterpart and an affinity towards the tree and the fruit. The desire of the creatures and the need to fulfill a purpose begets the image of a new life. As the child is born, the creatures become immune to gravity, representing a contented resolution to their life and purpose. Artworks can be purchased at the gallery. |
