G.
Forever is Composed of Nows.
Acrylic on paper.

The title of an Emily Dickinson poem about forever and now inspired this painting about time, represented by clocks, a clock headed man, on a stairs, beside a grandfather clock, moving towards a door.

I saw this book on another post - and so went and found a copy at a 2nd hand book shop…
Looking forward to lunches at work with a cup of tea and maybe a couple of rainy Sundays at home…

It's that day of the year when I wake up disorientated, not knowing what time it is and because the clocks have changed, I stay disorientated.

Some clocks, like on my phone, have updated while some need a manual reset. I'm in the Twilight Zone and plan to stay here for a while.

I haven't been thinking about it for decades, but I just got reminded of the existence of Swatch internet time, which was supposed to provide a unified way of reckoning time across the globe. In decimal time, no less. There were 1000 beats in a day, making a beat a beat about 87 seconds long.

I liked that idea, but it was always marred by being a company thing (introduced by watch manufacturer Swatch), making wide adoption unlikely from the start.
