“A resentment of the \u2018ravages\u2019 of time (the decline in our health or the depreciation of our car) is common-place. As is a disinterest in, if not neglect of, the fuller and more complex machinations of \u2018Time\u2019; these being so beyond our ken, why bother?  The nature of Time is nothing short of grand-scale alchemy so it\u2019s much easier to just leave that tangled monster be \u2013 it has always done its thing, so let it get on with it\u2026 life\u2019s complicated enough, isn\u2019t it?….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet each of us must manage our own perception of a temporal, material world. We have to cope as it unfolds around us, and we all nurture a certain level of competence to operate inside it. Our endeavours are perhaps less resolute than the word \u2018operate\u2019 implies, but we have a tool \u2013 we\u2019ve done some work. Under the cold, reliable gaze of the clock we regulate our lives; keep appointments, get paid by the hour, know how old we are\u2026 This is useful stuff, and it\u2019s all because we created units of measurement based on an understanding of the movement of our planet around a star. An invention of necessity has given us a version of time that suits us well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I think about the Earth circling the Sun it triggers a curiosity for unimaginable distances and a sense of wonder at how gravity causes motion on such a scale\u2026 whilst remaining invisible. It isn\u2019t concepts of time, it\u2019s concepts of cosmic geography at play in my head. How clever we were then, to invent \u2018clock-time\u2019 as a function of celestial-terrestrial spatial relationships.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Sunday Salon 10 – ‘Temporal Objects’ the participating artists collaborated to consider time and temporality in relation to their work – the above are extracts from a text I wrote to accompany my work. The whole text is here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Saturation Point – founded and run by artists Hanz Hancock and Patrick Morrissey.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
