This exegesis forms part of an ongoing enquiry on the concept of time. Artist, Barnett Newman sought the 'physical sensation of time' in his painting. My research questions, through a program of creative work, whether a moment in time can be represented in a two dimensional art work; or if we only experience the sensation of time passing, as we are viewing it. A key issue within this creative practice-based approach, is to examine if empty visible space within an artwork 'ignites' a sense of time; if a visualisation of empty space can capture an event, an awareness of the immediacy of a moment experienced in the studio.
