biography

Artist Tim Knowles lives and works in London. His work is exhibited widely both in the UK and internationally, recent shows include; Wanderlust a solo exhibition curated by Paula Orrell at Plymouth Arts Centre (2009) and Unpredictable forms of Sound and Motion Bitforms Gallery, New York (2009).

 

statement

Chance is crucial to Tim Knowles’ work, which is generated by apparatus, mechanisms, systems and processes beyond the artist’s control. Akin to scientific experimentation a situation is engineered in which the outcome is unpredictable, directed by the external forces. These operations or performances seek to reveal the invisible forces in the world around us and reveal the nature of hidden systems.

Whether it is the artist himself walking for days guided solely by the wind mapping his route to reveal the winds path through a specific landscape, or the intricate movement of a hundred weeping willow branches each with a pen attached to it’s tip, drawing as it is blown by the wind. There is a poetry, English eccentricity and wit to the work.
