Continuity of Thought (2024) Schilderij door Richard Ferguson

The artwork features a figure that appears to be a woman with striking white hair, which blends seamlessly into a misty, surreal landscape. She is shown in profile from the waist up, dressed in a classical or timeless draped garment. The woman's eyes are closed, and she is holding her hand gracefully near her face, which suggests a sense of contemplation or introspection.

Part of her form, specifically the lower part, transitions into a complex mechanical structure resembling the intricate workings of a clock or a timepiece with gears, cogs, and clock hands. This mechanical element is richly detailed, contrasting with the soft, ethereal texture of the rest of her figure and the landscape.

The background depicts a barren landscape with a single, leafless tree, reinforcing a theme that could be interpreted as the passage of time, nature, and possibly the immutable, mechanical progression of life. It is a thoughtful and evocative piece, blending human elements with those of nature and machinery, creating a rich tapestry of visual and conceptual symbolism.
