Now Is the Time is an assemblage of: digital photographs and monoprints printed on paper and transparencies; text (from Woolf’s To the Lighthouse) on tracing paper; embroidery on muslin, and cassette tape. The elements are layered, suspended by fishing wire and bulldog clips to produce blurrings, repetitions and superimpositions.

Now Is the Time is based on the theory that time exists only within ourselves, suspended between memory and anticipation. The work explores the nature of memory and our perception of time, as partial, contingent, subject to influence, recurrence, distortion and failure. 

The work is inspired by Carlo Rovelli’s The Order of Time (2017), which proposes that our concept of linear time is an illusion based on selective perception. Recognising the different layers and weavings of temporal strands enables a critique of the political control and power dynamics intrinsic to a straightforward past-present-future chronology.

‘Fuller’s work is compelling and mysterious, like the evidence board of a half-remembered dream, where traces and residues of things past or hovering in the future de- and re-materialise.’ Jo Manby The Fourdrinier
