Show Description:

"Time Dilation” is a visual conversation between artists Jon & Lindsey Merrell, shown through individual, and collaboratively layered, works. The phenomenon known as time dilation is a component of the theory of relativity, and refers to the differing rate of time and realities measured by two clocks. Jon and Lindsey are those two clocks as they take a hard look at the differences & similarities in their experiences over the last 5 years, navigating lockdown, family dynamics, a life-threatening accident, and a terminal diagnosis, together. It has felt like a blink of an eye, yet an eternity.

Artist Statements:

My work aims to create a dialogue that highlights the peculiarity and emotion of daily life, the inaccurate shift of memory, and a processing of the internal, all within structured worlds.
