clock

_{^{clocks, a series of paintings on panel, investigates 12 timekeeping devices as translators of abstract temporal language. Each painting takes a specific time keeping system or mechanism as its starting point, as varied as sundials, pendulums, waterclocks, nocturnals, the Doomsday Clock, and the Clock of the Long Now. The paintings use these as departure points, recording research, its contextualization, personal thought, leaps in logic, speculation, and revision until it builds up into a durational examination of time systems, mechanical meaning making, and scientific authority. The paintings themselves hold a parallel, but destabilizing timekeeping system, having unfolded through cycles of rapid intervention and prolonged suspension over the course of a year. Rather than coveting a standardized, most accurate marking of time, painting and thinking as temporal mechanisms offer a system of uncertainty, contradiction, and chaos.}}
