Arielle Ramirez: Collection Assignment Blog

Time [tahym]     -noun    1.  A specific place or period in space in which something exists or occurs
                                     2.  A method of measuring the passage of moments within a day
                                     3.  Music.  Beat or tempo kept within a piece of music

Time Collection:
1.  A friend's green Nooka watch.  It tells time not like a digital or a standard clock with hands does, but tells it in blocks and bars.
2.  A white square shaped pig digital clock.  This lights up when pressed down upon, and will be recreated through photos in a poster form.
3.  My red LG Xenon cell phone.  It gives the time when you lock it, so a sticker will read press here for the time in order to turn it on.
4.  A sand timer from a Taboo game.  May be replicated into a 3D drawing with real sand.
5.  A old sun dial.  Possible sculpture, most likely a painting or photo.
6.  A recreation but modulated version of the clock piece "Perfect Lovers."  May be paint, possibly photo.
7.  A sculpture of a clock with no numbers but with hands. 
8.  A metronome for music. I would like to make this a 3D picture/painting.
9.  An old antique pocket watch and chain.  It would be cool presented with an actual coat.
10.  The time turner from Harry Potter.  I would make this out of metal and chain.
11.  A photo of a school clock or a grandfather clock.  I see this photo in black and white with extreme contrasts in lighting.
12.  An egg shaped or other eccentrically shaped kitchen timer.  This could possibly be replaced by a stop watch used in sports activities.

  1. I'm interested in seeing you investigate the idea of "time" with the large quantity of clocks you have. What does it say about technology and culture? Does the time refer to a specific location on this planet in relation to another place? By having a meaningful content, you can go beyond the piece simply being a collection of clocks.
