Unseating Western dominant notions of time, having time told to us. I wanted to work over the watch, the gold watch in order to revision an understanding of time that is beyond dominant Capitalist Western thinking but yet close enough to that methodology to be credible and understandable. Children in the West know that you can count the rings of a cross-section of a tree and use that to tell about time. The circles are close to a spiralistic notion of time that I have researched in time concepts on the continent of Africa.
In the face of environmental devastation Instead of thinking in minutes seconds and hours we need to start looking at the time frames that trees give us. We need to be told about time. The watches are pinned on the outside of the jacket unlike aspirational fake watches sold on the street which are pinned on the inside of a jacket. I see this as a continuation of my work eliding the person the plant and the animal.
