Simon Morris - Room of Time

Simon Morris’s Room of Time was made by Simon Morris over a ten-day period between 19-29 September 2022 in the Hancock Gallery of City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi. It is part of Morris's ongoing exploration into the occupation of space through time-based abstract painting. 

Abstract in form and impermanent in nature, this painting existed only for the duration of the exhibition.

This is the fourth ‘wall work’ Morris has made at City Gallery Wellington Te Whare Toi. Each brushstroke extends what has become a sustained encounter with these spaces that stretches back over twenty-five years but meets us in the direct experience of a painting encountered in the here and now.
