24/365

In a world that prizes speed and efficiency, 24/365 invites slowness. This year-long, wall-mounted drawing machine functions like a seismographic clock, creating tangible, visual representations of the passing of time.

Completing a revolution over 24 hours, it marks a spiral that grows one ring per day. 365 rings over the year. Reacting to motion and vibration around it, the marks vary in quality: dynamic during active days, gentle at night. Capturing not just time’s passage but its emotional and environmental context.

Dendrochronology

Inspired by trees and how they record their life experiences in their rings, the device renders time as something tangible and felt.

I explore human-nonhuman relationships through this temporal mark-making with a data-driven, “documentative” approach.
