Project 06 – Abstract Clock

Abstract Clock

As the hours and minutes build up, the canvas fills with boxes and lines. Each day is a fresh start on a clean slate. Each hour starts out less clattered than towards its close.

The seconds are marked by a ball which was supposed to bounce off the sides evoking the ‘tick-tock’ associated with clocks. However, the reverse direction did not work out. In a way, the single direction is better because each second is fresh, not recycled.

The hours relate to the minutes in that one can tell the hour and minute by just looking at the hour indicator. The same with the minutes and seconds. And ofcourse one can tell the night hours from the day hours – a feature that is perhaps only useful in casinos where one never sees the sky.
