Rotations of Time is a series of three pinwheel clocks that move in measurement of the ways we perceive our greatest measurement of life.
Time.
Is time an illusion? How is it relevant? What would you request of it? Father Time stands on the pinwheel clock with a commanding presence. Its pillar adorned with watch faces in tribute of those loved ones whose time has come to pass.
The tall clock moves us fast as the wind blows, spinning the colorful pinwheel as it changes time with each rotation. Slowing us down, and then stopping time when in a place of peace.
The “real time” clock ticks, and turns, as it marches to time that is steadfast. Carrying us through life so we can connect in “real time.”
Then there is flying time, blurring its’ colors and blinding us to the present moment as we become lost in our pursuit to slow it down.
As a tribute to those who have gone before us, what’s to determine a life well lived or lost too soon? By the time lived, or by the amount of life lived?
Rotations of time will travel around the west coast with the support of volunteers, honorably ending near the Temple.
