Material Time examines how surfaces hold and compress time. Through processes of layering, erosion, reduction and accumulation, the works presented operate as material records of duration rather than fixed images.

Across painting and object-based practices, time is not depicted but embedded. Surfaces become sites of retention and disturbance, carrying traces of process, pressure, gesture and repetition.

The project brings together works in which material behaves as a temporal condition: unstable, compressed and continuously transforming.

Rather than resolving immediately, the works unfold gradually, requiring sustained attention and establishing a slower relation between viewer, surface and time.
