The Phenomenology of Perception - Merleau Ponty

Marguerite Horner’s practice is concerned with the non-material, a reality that is accessed through contemplation and painting. Today the moving image dominates our world and whilst visually powerful in so many respects, it denies us the opportunity for stillness and reflection.
