A Walk with King Alfred














































I have never noticed how many times I walked past the King Alfred sculpture in one day, until I was asked to record time without using a clock. Every time that I passed by King Alfred I photographed the statue and in doing so I was able to record the change in the time through the changes in the suns location.

Mouse House





































































I thought it would be a neat idea to construct a miniature house that a mouse could live in. In this house, the mouse is being moved up and down like he is dancing. Viewing this action is possible through the front view only where I cut out a "window". I chose to match the house to the skin color of the mouse (blue) then the interior rooms and roof were matched to be compliments of that. I was not sure if seeing the actual device that was making the mouse was necessary for grading, so the front wall of the first floor opens up like a book.

My 24 Hour Symphony


This piece was composed using the first six lyrics in every song that I listened to completely for one day. When I hand-wrote them on an already-printed music sheet, I was trying to point out the fact that a day can be planned out but not exactly followed. The red revisions are a tribute to the fact that many people wish they could revisit or redo their past. Writing these down gave me an opportunity to do so.

24 hours of life


I wrote down all the text messages I received during a day and displayed them chronologically according to the conversation taking place.

Progression of Consumption























I chose to document time by recording the food I ate during the day. I found that lunch was the largest meal that I ate or at least it has the largest variety of food. By placing the food in progression with time it also showed a progression of size.

Record of Time

I recorded time with various objects from the places I had gone within the 24 hours. Firstly a pencil from class, a leaf from the grass I sat on, a letter from work, a water bottle from the gym, headphones while working out, a napkin and straw from subway, a car air freshener, a sponge from washing dishes, a fabric softener sheet from the laundry room, a red balloon I had in my backpack, and lastly a toothpick I used before bed.
