Shifts in Time: Spring 2026

Shifts in Time: Spring 2026

The subcategory **Shifts in Time** falls under the category **Hidden Kingdoms, Shifting Worlds**. Individual artworks do not have titles, as they are part of a larger collection of paintings organised by category and subcategory.

The work explores tensions between chance and control, focusing attention on detail—from the choice of processes and subjects to the materials used. The perspective—whether grounded in art practice, exploration, landscape, environment, or a general curiosity about life—remains rooted in personal experience. Ultimately, painting and drawing are the only reliable means to make sense of who I am and how I exist in the world.

The work also examines the painting’s nature by tracing its origins and sources. Dr Richard Daniel of the CBCB offers his appraisal of the project *Hidden Kingdoms, Shifting Worlds*. A selection of works is displayed in the media gallery and can be viewed in more detail using the links below and in the homepage slideshow. Additional paintings from the collection are available for viewing at the CBCB by appointment.

Further insights on the artwork, including, an appraisal by Dr Richard Daniel, is available at:
