After by Appointment

This time, Judith Cottrell goes straight to the source and presents a self-portrait. With a continued interest in translating the mechanics of human motivation and drive into visual language, she displays and enacts her own subconscious experience. 

Combining installation and performance,"...It's Time." quietly depicts an internal dialogue between her seemingly apparent reality and the reality that exist within her unconscious part of mind. Cottrell makes use of former subject matter with current methodology and approach to discuss and point to the power of momentum.
