Time After Time (right) features
my initial collection of three pocket
watches, which I placed upon
a larger vintage school clock. The
background numbers add a graphic
quality to the pocket watches while
also encircling and protecting the
smaller timepieces, similar to
a parent protecting her children.2015
While perusing our family’s book
collections, I discovered Th rough the
Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found
Th ere, Lewis Carroll’s novel about the
adventures of Alice in Wonderland.
In Looking Glass (below), I displayed
one of my pocket watches atop the
book. Th is placement immediately
suggested a relationship to the book
itself, but the refl ection of a rabbit’s
face on the glass of the pocket watch
creates a story beyond the actual
written story—a kind of time-related
fantasy for the viewer to envision.TOP
