Nautical Time Warp

"Nautical Time Warp"  ~ Fine art prints by Carmen Delprat.
 
This pencil and ink illustration represents a surrealist twist on the concept of time. The professor of Theoretical Physics at Birkbeck College, University of London, Professor David Bohm, explains that the symbol of the nautical shell embodies the concept of time. "The spiral is a visual symbol of time which is neither linear nor cyclical, but a dynamic synthesis of both that combines forward movement with the cyclical contingencies of life. The spiral has a history coiled within it, making present the traces of the past. In a sense the whole development of the shell is present”.
 
The idea that time can be coiled up in one symbolic shell was the inspiration for this artwork. The female figure morphing from the opening of the shell symbolises the unification between the conscious and subconscious mind. In this unification, time is eternal, the past, present and future exist simultaneously as suggested by the nautical shell. The surreal background, with fish swimming through what might be considered the sea or sky, suggest that the image represents dream-time. My initial idea for this image was to depict the ‘timelessness’ of dreams. The floating ‘bubbles’ with clock faces surrounding the figure suggest that time is all encompassing.
