A Time for Everything: Repetition, Image construction & Time
Royal Institute of Art.
2025 (English)Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master of Fine Arts (Two Years)), 5 HE creditsStudent thesis [Artistic work]
Abstract [en]

In A Time For Everything, I explore three interwoven components central to my artistic practice: repetition, image construction, and time. The essay begins with a reflection on how ideas emerge—suddenly, like a storm—and how the notion of “a time for everything” becomes a grounding principle when navigating my artistic practice.

Drawing on personal experiences in the studio, philosophical texts, and references to artists and writers such as Philip Guston, Francis Bacon, and Walter Benjamin, I examine how repetition functions both as a practical method and as a conceptual framework that shapes my process. I distinguish between mechanical and transformative forms of repetition and reflect on how recurring motifs evolve into new expressions over time. 

The essay also delves into how image construction, through format, framing, and scale, affects meaning and perception in my paintings. Throughout the essay, the concept of time is treated not only as a theme but as a material in itself: an invisible but necessary force that allows ideas to rest, grow, and transform. Ultimately, the essay positions my artistic practice as an ongoing dialogue between structure and uncertainty, where the challenge lies in remaining open to fantasy, enigma, and not knowing.
