ART EXPLORATION #2 - Instant Sculpture - I call it: Pondering "Time" -

Many ideas flowed in my mind when we were assigned to gather materials to form a sculpture. This task became a little difficult for me to decide which idea to settle upon to blog about. I spent many random moments here and there re-thinking my sculpture ideas, without really coming up with anything that satisfied me as a completed task to represent something of great importance to me. As a result, I eventually started running out of time to complete my blog entry for the week. The week flowed by so quickly and time was ticking as another weekly blog task was to be expectedly assigned. With this in mind, it finally occurred to me how much emphasis we place on the aspect of "Time" and how much of an impact "Time" revolves around our lives.

"Time" is not only a signicant aspect of my life; but for most of us, we operate in a timely manner.The clock is always subtly ticking and constantly running.  I finally found inspiration for this blog entry. I was inspired by the human creation of "Time" and it lead me to attempt to build a sculpture with clocks.

My Instant Sculpture

Can you imagine life without "Time"?

 

 Time has been such a crucial aspect to our human society. There are typical outlooks in society when we talk about being on time and late. The importance of being punctual signifies respect and good character, and lateness demonstrates signs of carelessness and disorganization.  We often talk about how to manage our time better or how to be more productive with our time. When we speak about Time, we refer to our clocks, the passing of the hours and minutes. Some say Time is money because many workers are pay by the hour; while others out on the farmlands live by the sun rising by day and watching the moon settling out by night. Our dates of births are measurable by time, speed is measurable by Time, our lifespan is measured by time.   Nevertheless, every moment of our lives, we're on this system of irreversable measures of processes: "TIME".

As I towered these clocks together (take a look at my work in above mid centre), the idea had me thinking: How would life be without the creation of "Time". Afterall, it is just another human creation, isn't it?

Leaves us something to ponder about philosophically.
