In Arithmetic of Yesterday, Tony Collins brings numerals, fragmented figures, and richly worked surfaces into a composition that suggests the imperfect workings of memory. A vivid yellow ground holds passages of red, turquoise, and black, while overlapping marks reveal and obscure what lies beneath.

The eye moves between the familiarity of numbers and the ambiguity of faces, searching for connections. There is a tension between counting and remembering—between what can be measured and what remains with us. It is this unresolved quality that invites a longer look, allowing new relationships to emerge with each viewing.
