Temporal Palimpsests explores personal memory and collective understandings of time as layered. It questions how palimpsest as metaphor and methodology communicates temporal relationships.

The term palimpsest describes the visible traces that remain after a manuscript has been recycled by erasing and writing over the original text. It is derived from the Latin word, palimpsestus, meaning “parchment cleaned for reuse.” In the seventeenth century, palimpsests spurred intrigue at the possibility of uncovering hidden texts. Metaphorically ,the palimpsest presents a lens through which to understand time as a layering of experiences and voices that shape the story of a culture, landscape or individual. As a methodology in art, the palimpsest allows for a visual rendering of these layered encounters.  

The exhibit showcases the work of artists from the Department of Visual Arts at Western University who address themes such as memory, the passage of time, the impacts of time, and the cataloging of time. Through repurposing material and in multi-media installation, these artists reimagine the palimpsest.

She was saying "don't take my picture", but I liked the cutouts on the shoulders and her hair was really vibrant.
