Current Exhibition | The Order of Time—Roger Murray + Jacqui Colley
21.05.25 — 07.06.25
Welcome to "The Order of Time," a selling exhibition that invites a deep exploration into the philosophical nature of time, inspired by the thought-provoking ideas of Carlo Rovelli. This collection features the captivating works of artists Jacqui Colley and Roger Murray, whose artistic practices resonate with themes of existence, transformation, and the continuous flow of movement that defines our experience in the world.
The Order of Time on view at Webb’s Wellington
Rovelli's assertion that time is not a rigid framework, but rather an illusion shaped by our individual perceptions, serves as a backdrop to this exhibition. Colley and Murray engage with these concepts through their distinct yet complementary approaches, provoking reflection on how we understand reality and our place within its dynamic landscape.
Colley’s work captures the immediacy of human experience, grounding time in the physical act of painting. Her art contrasts the fleeting nature of personal temporality with the vast, timeless rhythms of the geological world. In contrast, Murray employs technology and natural analogies to explore time as a fluid, rhythmic flow, emphasizing perpetual motion and the intricate patterns that underlie existence.
Together, their artistic interpretations challenge us to reconsider the fixed notions of time and reality. Through their unique explorations of movement, transformation, and the cycles of life, they encourage viewers to embrace the complexity and perhaps the illusion of the order of time.
We invite you to immerse yourself in this thought-provoking journey. Allow the works of Colley and Murray to inspire you to contemplate the interconnectedness of time, existence, and the very fabric of reality itself.
