Tim Silver is a multidisciplinary artist from Australia who works with sculpture, photography, and installation pieces in order to explore the nature of time both conceptually and materially and how time interfaces with decay particularly in the human body. He has had his works exhibited in dozens of exhibitions starting in 2008, such as the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Adelaide Art Faller of South Australia, Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, and more. His sculptures are often made from unstable and unpredictable materials, such as water color pigment, ash, and sawdust which allow the works to continually transform through decay or a change in patina which acts as visual reminder of the impermanence of life. He also photographs states of decay and change as a way of examining the inevitability of death. I think his sculptures of broken busts to be very interesting in how they capture a sense of decay and silent destruction in an interesting visual, but not quite traditional way. I like how these busts are created to be destroyed, often just because of how they were made which is an interesting aspect to his process. I like his ideas of an almost silent decay and that imagery or way of making art that is built to be partially destroyed due its process of being made could be something interesting to explore.
