For this project, I was inspired by the concept of dendrochronology, which is the study of time depiction through tree rings. Tree rings are indicative not only of the age of the tree, but also the conditions of the climate at the time. I thought this was really interesting, as the from a distance, the time can’t be easily counted, but it depicts more than just time, but place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tree ring is comprised of the layered brown\/green ring (which denotes 24 layers for 24 hours), and then an underlying minutes and seconds red ring which grows gradually (and doesn’t layer).I also represented days from the moving ellipses in the center of the tree ring, to mimic the idea of celestial bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
