After working on the sculpture project for over a year, Treloar was ready to start painting again.

He had been painting what he saw for about three decades and was eager to work on a different kind of painting. He wanted to paint what he saw in his mind—more like memories than observations. Bits and pieces, arranged in space and time, to evoke contemplation. And part of that contemplation was the nature of what “reality” is, inspired by Treloar’s lifelong interest in physics.

“If we reproduce in the language of logic what we see and experience, then we are practicing science, but if we communicate through forms whose connections are inaccessible to the conscious mind, but we intuitively recognize them as meaningful, then we’re making art.” (1921) Albert Einstein

After a while, these “Imagined Realities” developed.
