Time asserts itself consistently throughout every nuance of our lives. Not only can we read its influence on our wrinkled bodies and bowlike backs, we read it through measurements we have invented. What we drew with these atypical materials describes the inconsistent skips and blurs of our impatient movements through life. Constructing a physical model of time is nearly as abstract as the topic itself, and we have taken on the challenge of representing time with marks in space. It’s empirical tangibilities are hard to capture, but the process of the moment revealed the inner workings of time better than we could have planned. The tension of gravity in the installation is pulling apart the seems, just as time will inevitibly pull apart our lives. The contributions of material innovation and conceptual forethought will then last only as an imprint on our consciousness.
