Walton Ford's "1.September. 1914: 1:00 PM" is a mixed media assemblage that combines oil painting on panel with found objects including a taxidermied pigeon, vintage furniture, photographs, electric lighting, and a ring of brass keys to create a complex meditation on a specific historical moment. The work's title references the date of Germany's invasion of Belgium, marking the beginning of widespread combat in World War I, while the accumulated ephemera and materials suggest themes of memory, loss, and the passage of time. Ford's layered approach, merging traditional painting techniques with sculptural and found object elements, invites viewers to contemplate how personal and collective histories intersect through material culture and preserved artifacts.
