On Contingency

-Blog entry 6

Facts are embedded in logical space thereby forming contingency. Contingency is a matter of the combination and separation of objects. The object is set in equilibrium between a structure of necessary connections. Things [objects] must be possible constituents in states of affairs, fit to enter states of affairs. This possibility is a contingency itself.

Bio

Timothy Cosens lives and maintains a studio in London Ontario Canada. He finished his formal arts training at H. B. Beal Technical School and graduated from this locally renowned arts program in 1978 receiving first prize for the highest standing in drawing.

London Ontario, especially from the years forward of 1960, has maintained a vital and experimental arts community. This climate of forward thinking has formed a strong backdrop towards Tim's research as a painter who maintains an interest in many international, historical, and contemporary developments within the visual arts.

His own work through the years has become increasingly disciplined, showing simplicity within complexity by looking at the nature of phenomena as seen in the parkland and rural sites of London and Southwestern Ontario.
