(Selected as Best Concept)"It is a much needed view for positive change."


Artistic Statement

Talking, listening, understanding, and service represented in the four short statements in the inner circle.  “Does anybody care?” - taking time to care for others and time for service.  “Does anybody know?” - taking the time to find the answers, learn, research, find out, and talk to people.  “I’m so confused…” - take the time to explain things, understand, and ultimately listen to others.  “Find me…” - time to be a friend, stay connected, and reach out to others.  Life swirls before us following the movement of the clock.  On the outside a question that is often asked but rarely considered, do we have the time… to talk, listen, understand, and serve others?




Technical Explanation

This transformation of space is in the Martin Luther King Jr. Commons.  This is all at ground level with the exception of the hands and spinning text/picture.  The spinning text/picture would in actuality be a clear plastic table that you could turn much like a merry-go-round only waist-high.  The hands of the clock would also be made out of plastic and moveable.  The hands would be light enough to move with little effort and move independently of  each other.  Also their edges would be rounded so as to hopefully prevent injury.  It is my hope that people will interact with this piece.
