Im really interested in this Soviet era of timekeeping where it was cheaper to create a mechanical 24 hour watch than it was to create a digital one. Some of the worlds last forward thinking people. Here is 24 hours two ways, 12 at top and 12 at bottom.

I have an aversion to this corny website:

horrible Swiss take on things, theyre soulless people,fence sitting war criminals never brought to justice "experience slow time through our commodities"

Time and erasure, impermanence

Taolins mandala #80, time through the human experience

Two aged brass wind chime tubes hanging from a black wire spiral, with green glass beads, in front of a window looking onto a blurry street with a bus and parked cars.

A picture I took of a wind chime on the doorway to Wow Bagel. An "Old School" New York bagel shop. The place is marked by wear, this piece is no exception. I am drawn to the phenomenon of wear. This piece counts the visitors to the shop, impermanently as sound and "permanently" as it carves a memory into the window behind it.

So, heres my concept, this is a slow time piece that draws times passage through material aging. Copper is a beautiful thing.
