Artists' Statement:

Time lines are straight. They read from left to right and events are spaced accordingly throughout the length of time described. When we try to apply a time line to our own life it tends to be difficult, not as simple. Things change. We change direction. Our personal path can be shifted. Things happen. Life choices affect our next segment, the next chapter in our life. We are constantly reminded of the choices we have made in the past. What could we have done differently? Could that have made a difference?

Each of us carry this "weight" differently. It is situated in our history, our timeline, in our minds forever. Our hopes, regrets and aspirations make up this "weight". This "weight" can be a burden for some while for others it drives people to their own version of success. It either torments or drives, waiting for the next segment, a chance for the "weight" to move and be altered by the life choice that was made.
