Robert Gear continues to investigate the nature of time in his latest work. Human time, existential time and physical time. T S Eliot’s Four Quartets was the genesis for his latest work and hovers somewhere close as the works seek to connect with the sentiments and profound questions Eliot poses regarding the human experience, time, purpose, futility and meaning. The work is essentially autobiographical and speaks of memory and a nostalgic view of the liminal space that exists between the present and the past.
