‘Please Wait…’ shows scenes of suspended motion in an age that resists such pauses. The acceleration of our pace of life has made us detest waiting, dismissing it merely an obstacle in the way of progress. As technology develops so too do our timely demands. I see the waiting moments depicted here as exquisite pauses; a moment of serenity where nothing is demanded of us - we are free to think and to exist. I believe they should not be wished away or drowned in boredom-induced consumption. Pascal said “complete rest is death”, but in a relentless life there is surely no time to live. The drawings express the philosophy that waiting can be our solace, our next idea, our rest; everything that we are rushing around trying to achieve.
