For this project, I wanted to create a clock that used various rings to indicate the time. As time passes, the inner circles begin to fill the 3 different sets of outer rings each representing a different measurement of time. I arranged the sets in a diagonal line so that the viewer is able to see each unit of contribute to the next.
