Dr Tom Mence is a UK based painter and practice-led researcher concerned with how dysfluent dialogues, such as a verbal stutter, influence our ways of seeing and how paintings are constructed.

• A painting and a stutter are in conflict with time’s perceived linear sequentiality.

• A painting and a stutter have the ability to loop time, expand and contract time, drag and ripple in time.

• A painting and a stutter force us to encounter the stuff language is made of, allowing us to question how we think and, in turn, how we see.
