Ok, so its about a week before all the work iv been doing over the summer is going to be put under the microscope and di-sected bit by bit and im really kind of nervous. I feel like iv done enough but I guess il have to wait and see.
Ive spent the summer (part of it, I do have a life) gathering information about my chosen subject, which is time. I have looked at clocks and watches, day and night, life and death and just about every other time related subject I could find.
Ive discovered that the present is the consciousness or awareness of recording of memory into the brain. Past is just a record while future does not exist. I have also discovered that a FEMTOSECOND is to a second, as a second is to 32 million years. This is all very interesting but hard to define in terms of sculpture.
Through various attempts at experimenting with time I realised that my whole life is totally dictated by it. I can't go for even a few hours without checking what time it is, this leads me to believe that I either have an addiction or my life has been completely influenced by the clock.
The pieces I have been working on reflect this overwhelming feeling of submersion in time, by translating it into colour and bombarding the eye with pattern. In doing this I hope to be able to create a visual understanding of how my life has been affected.
I will put up some photos to hopefully explain this a little better.
