Fluid Time and Liminal Space

When I was learning how to read a clock face, I accepted the idea that time moved predictably from past to present to future. But sometimes I would see things before they happened; it occurred to me that the ability to remember the past might be the flip side of the ability to see into the future, and that time was not always linear. Three-dimensional space, too, seemed predictable, yet it could warp at the edge of a black hole, and it could not be used to define the shape and size of the Universe. The anomalies of time and space are recurring themes in my artwork.


“Alexandra Tyng’s figurative paintings have always said more about her subjects than the physical characteristics she paints. . . . Her symbols are often the universal archetypes of  Jung seen through an intensely personal lens.”
