As humans we do not inhabit a single time. We are composed of many different types of ages
simultaneously.
When considering age, how do we quantify the mind, the body the soul?
For example,
an old soul can inhabit a young body.
The mind through learning can occupy an ancient wisdom
and the body, in its atomic constituent parts, is as old as time itself.
We are the sum of all that precedes us.
Therefore you could say that we are not the age we think we are.
The process of ageing,
whether biological or as epochal progression, is aligned with the process of making.
Art and Age go hand-in-hand.
For example,
to experience An Age we often do so through the artist’s medium,
whether that’s through
a piece of writing, a play, a painting, a sculpture, a piece of music, dance.
Each shifts our perspective
and therefore our perception of Age
and Time.
Age is seasoned by Art
We are seasoned by age
H takes his time.......
Then gives that time space and shape
