A Personal Record of Time


















Baking bread; my personal record of time.

Gathering ingredients, waiting for the yeast to activate and the bread to rise; Gauging time through bread baking is a visual and physical process. In this situation, time is dependant on the conditions of the environment rather than on hours and minutes. The dough is finished rising when it has doubled in size, and the bread is done whenever the crust becomes golden brown. Over the course of the day, as the loaf disappears and the crust hardens, the ephemeral quality of bread baking bread becomes evident.
