Overview
"There's always this point of reflection where you look back on events or memories and I think that's important to process and realize where you are. The time after the time something happened." - Sage Barnes
Time After Time invites the viewer into an intimate look at the artist's creative process as well as insight into the complex emotion surrounding the body of works. With an emphasis on precise, methodical application as well as the building of layers, Barnes has spent countless hours poring over each canvas to obtain the desired visual effect of suspension and weightlessness.
With a substantially lengthy process, the artist has likened the layers of each piece to chapters of a book: "Each layer adding to a story and shaping us as individuals. Each layer affects and changes our lives as we go". Ultimately, the pieces emphasize the importance of reflection and looking back on the memories and events that shape a person and make them who they are today.
"There's always this point of reflection where you look back on events or memories and I think that's important to process and realize where you are. The time after the time something happened. Like you're always in this final bloom of yourself in a way. Always changing and hopefully it's for the better. That's why I liked working with the resin, it kind of encapsulates this version of the flowers we would want to keep forever."
