I feel like the meaning of the work is to show that, though time changes and the day goes by, there are things that stay the same. On each wall, the extensions of the paintings on the walls, the branches, were the same with every piece. The black, white, and grey tones give off a depressing feel, but the art does not make me sad or depressed. Personally, I loved the exhibition. the series basically shows this table in front of this window throughout a whole day. The table and the window do not change but, through the day, the table gets used and the light coming through the window changes dramatically as it gets darker. the series gives a great visual description of the title "Darker with the Day". The changes in tones also show the change of time in the series. the movement of certain objects on the table and the shades coming through the window also show time.
Questions i would ask George Rush :
1. Were there any "mistakes" that you made that you just left and blended with the art?
2. What made you choose to paint the items you did on the table?
3. Why a table? Why not just a chair or a stool?
I enjoyed reading your insightful interpretation of the exhibition and I am glad you enjoyed it. I am also interested in the play between change and consistency throughout the series of paintings.
