A Sense of Time, A Sense of Place

Richard Pillsbury

Gertrude Stein once said of Oakland, California, that "there is no there there."  It was not that Ms. Stein could not see Oakland, nor that Oakland had been removed from the face of the earth, rather to her it had no sense of place, no sense of time.  "There," the innate sense of existing as a discrete place is an elusive concept at best.  Richard Pillsbury explores the visual landscape through his painting to understand the process and their outcome.  Time and our culture shapes the physical world, but in the end its our mind that creates place reality.  Visual signatures, place ballets, and place identities are all created by our mind as it searches for order among the chaos of competing images.
