Clock 2024 2022 2020

Clock (2020-) series shares similarities with the Calendar in its attempt to examine a device that segments and quantifies time within the realm of space. However, the primary distinction lies in the presence of an actual moving clock hand. Inspired by the circular motion of analogue clocks, which underscores the one-dimensionality of spatialised time, the series incorporates clock mechanisms and hands to gradually weave the imprinted alphabets on the pieces into a single sentence over time, as indicated in their titles.
