About The Artwork
This multi-layered work explores human relationships through: myth, natural history and symbolism. The Norse God 'Odin' was accompanied by two ravens, and two wolves. The two ravens, Huginn and Muninn represented thought and memory. He sent them out into the world every day and they were his eyes and ears, bringing him information. The two wolves were named Freki and Geri meaning hunger and greed. So Freki and Muninn represent both memory and ravenous hunger. Alongside this I was reading about how wolves and ravens interact in the wild. In icy tundra areas, the ravens go off to find the carrion and remember where it is. They then go back and direct the wolves, who are able to break open the frozen carcasses enabling both animals to feed off the remains; so it’s a kind of a mixture of those two things. This symbiosis and communication relates in turn to the dynamics of human sexual relationships. Traditional drawing techniques and story-telling are at the heart of my practice. I am inspired by myth as an open-narrative structure and as a symbolic and vivid source of human experience.

United Kingdom
Tim’s anachronistic style takes strong influence from Classic Literature and World Mythologies and it is this that gives his art its rich narrative quality. The consideration of Myth especially, for Tim, provides a structure of multi-layered, open narrative that inspires highly symbolic imagery that not only prompts the viewer to find out more for themselves, but seeks to explain the world in a visceral, imaginative, dark way, often with a animalistic element. “I like to ‘animalize’ people with the ‘animal mask’ revealing an often hidden inner quality of the eternal human character as very much part of the animal kingdom.”
