I make objects because I want to have more time.

At home most of our clocks have been modified so that the second hand pushes other things like twigs or feathers or pieces of dried lemon rind. I will often catch them in between their ticks. Sometimes I swear that I saw time stop-- that I glimpsed a frozen moment.

Then the moment moves on.

I make objects because I want to have more time.
