Artwork Description

Temporal Perspectivism is the potentially distorted view as one looks back or remembers past events through the filter of current life knowledge and experiences. It is more commonly known in the research fields of anthropology and archaeology and implies that there is no single objective truth but rather multiple perspectives that depend on the context and the time.

My artwork depicts vague, fuzzy edges and colours indicating the uncertain nature of what we discover and the view that, given our interpretation is based on our own current view of the world, we cannot know for certain how past time periods were viewed by the people living through them. An analogy could be that we cannot fully understand or judge others unless we live their lives.

The artwork is unframed however it is painted on the sides so framing is not required. It is signed on the back, comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity and will be registered on the National Registry of Australian Art and Artists. Images showing framing are indicative only.

"Art comes alive in the eyes of the viewer".

Kate Hessling is an Australian contemporary artist living surrounded by wildlife and natural bushland. As a self-taught artist she enjoys challenging herself and experimenting with different ideas and subject matters exploring the boundless possibilities of abstract and expressionism.

"My influences are mostly from the stunning abstract and expressionist works of the mid-20th century. What I most enjoy about painting is the colours, shapes, patterns, brushstrokes and marks that one can use to create, or recreate, a feeling, an emotion, or just something fun. My approach is generally to reimagine the world around me and try to capture this on canvas. These re-imaginings can be inspired by objects, locations, nature, moods and sometimes just ideas and concepts. Whilst I do sometimes create several paintings in similar styles, I generally feel the need to constantly evolve and not restrict my creativity to any one particular style. My art journey is all about embracing creativity, change, and new and exciting challenges. My mind is overflowing with ideas and the need to explore different works and push my boundaries."

Kate is member of the Royal Queensland Art Society (Brisbane), has displayed her art in many shows, and sold both nationally and internationally. You can follow Kate on IG or FB- katehesslingart
