Some recent timepieces
This is a collection of the responses that we’ve received for the ‘Time’ section of our main site over the last few months. (It’s an open brief where anyone can send in images on the theme of time). Liam McEntee sent us the rather philosophical image above. Meanwhile Danny Elliott, studying at Lincoln, realised that he had kept his payslips for a part-time job for 15 months, and that there was a monotonous regularity to them.
Martin Warner sent us this, with no explanation. Needs none, really.
Shaun Hughes decided to ‘show the idea of time through physical state’. ‘I set about it by the idea of 2 books, one that was perfect and showed the original state, and the other was to be open to nature. Every week one poster was taken into the warmth of the house and left to dry.I designed and made 6 posters, there are 2 of each so to compare between the untampered version and the weathered one’.
Stacey Sedgwick keeps receipts for 12 years (weird huh?). So she can show us that in that time, chewing gum has doubled in price.
Shown below is Evelin Kasikov’s submission: ‘an experimental handmade poster where each square section represents continuous 15 minutes of work. Through these short time slots the inner structure of a CMYK image is visualised through hand embroidery. The poster consisting of 16 squares means it took four hours to complete the piece’.
Beci Stankiewicz has been thinking around the theme of ‘the big boss counting his money, money that has been earned through the hard work of his employees’.
Grant Barratt sent the image below with the following explanation: ‘Some of the oldest trees in the world are dated up to 5000 years old. Imagine some of the great historical figures they will have lived through and indeed, outlived. Ironic therefore that the one person they won't outlive is the most insignificant of the lot, and yet ultimately the one who will have the most historical significance in terms of the tree itself’.
Feel free to send us your ideas, the best ones will be posted here on thought for the week. Best to email them to info at johnsonbanks dot co dot uk.
