Past Present and Future is a two-part work by Richard Aldrich that combines oil, wax, and charcoal on linen, incorporating a living plant as an integral element of the composition. Aldrich's layered application of materials creates a surface that feels simultaneously spontaneous and considered, with traces of mark-making visible beneath translucent veils of wax. The inclusion of a plant alongside the painted panels bridges the organic and the artistic, evoking themes of time, growth, and impermanence central to the work's title.
