Are Icons of Beauty
Witnessing the Passage
Of time.
This week i’ve been turning a diamond in my hand – looking at a few angles on our relationship with clocks, watches and music boxes. In the main i have been wondering about the reciprocity of this connection in Clarity, Mystery and Imagination, Companions, Infuse and today, I see you.
Can these objects be witnesses to our lives? An “I see you”? Go to any old object in your personal space and ask it, as if it could answer: “what have you seen?” Its a powerful tool of reflection. Listen.
Psychotherapists are quick to say, Nay! You’re simply identifying a dislodged part of your psyche which has identified itself with an object out there. May i ask the sceptic: Why do i feel humbled when i walk past the floor clock in my lounge that has been ticking for 259 years?
Why is it important?
It isn’t. Just a lantern i hung in the window…
