Fragments of Minutes

The word time has been treated and referred to as a physical entity over millennia and in many languages throughout the world. For example, in English the colloquialisms ‘to have time’, ‘to waste time’, or even ‘time flies’ imply that the broad concept of time possesses materiality. One of the most fundamental attributes of any material is its ability to be consumed– Fragments of Minutes simultaneously probes and analyzes the implications of this materialization. A sculptural clock, Fragments of Minutes expresses the passage of time as consumption through the dematerialization of a single pencil.
