TIME IS

TIME IS is a series of visual metaphors about time.

According to proverbs, time heals, steals, and flies. In much the same way, time is something we make and take, save and spend, keep, waste, kill, and lose. Almost without noticing, we rely on metaphor to describe our relationship with time.

In this series, clocks are presented through the framework of the phrase “Time is ___.” Each work pairs a clock with metaphor, transforming an abstract expression into a visual object.

What happens when these metaphors are made visible? How does our understanding of time change when we encounter it as something more than a tool for measurement?
