Overview
'Where Will All These Moments Go, After We Depart?, 2022' by Megan Baker
'Where Will All These Moments Go, After We Depart?, 2022' by Megan Baker
"Through these works I am contemplating the infiniteness of the landscape against the finiteness of our being. To be still and gaze at the passage of time, to acknowledge each moment as it happens and know that this too will pass, makes it both beautiful and sorrowful."

'Where the Ground Meets the Sky' explores moments of stillness within nature, capturing a feeling of comfort in solitude where the vastness of landscape makes us conscious of our contained state as human beings. Unfolding through layers of impasto, Megan Baker's oil paintings suggest an ever-changing state of being, where fragmented and gestural figures are continually interrupted by the immediacy of the paint. The oscillation of time intercepts the way the painting is understood, the surface flickering between a recognisable form and a sweeping brushstroke. Focusing on the physicality of the medium itself, Baker's practice is centred on the way time can be experienced through painting. Baker uses paint as a way to expand and extend time in a world where everyday encounters feel so instant and condensed. In turn, the perception of time shifts and evolves as one is absorbed by the search and discovery of the next hidden detail.
