*Oliver Burkeman, Sam Harris podcast #289 Time management for mortals approx 22:29 minutes
I’m interested in how we experience, value and record time. As a social medium adornment has the potential to act as catalyst, conduit and communicator in this realm.
I invited friends and associates to document an average day and a perfect day in a circular diagram format.
This data was then digitally rendered as a radar chart, determining the shape of each work in the series.
This series honours time and creativity with a collaborative and regenerative approach to adornment making.
