About
In this new series of work, Lock explores the mapping or tracking of information. These paintings are maps but they do not seek to know - in fact the opposite. They are uncertain marks within a designated space - metaphorical and rhythmic.The act of painting can be linear with one mark following another, replacing what has gone before, marking a moment before it becomes the past. The new mark has an urgency about it - but only for a moment - before its time has gone. It leaves itself behind on the canvas, a memory trace. The Greek word for truth (Aletheia) also incorporates the word for "forgetting" - translating as 'unforgetfulness' - these paintings are not about memory but perhaps they are about unforgetting.
