Description
Worry The Clock:...
Time is a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them. Time has long been a major subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars. Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, music, dance, and the live theater all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems. Some simple, relatively uncontroversial definitions of time include "time is what clocks measure" and "time is what keeps everything from happening at once".
Two contrasting viewpoints on time divide many prominent philosophers. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe�a dimension independent of events, in which events occur in sequence. Sir Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time. The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of "container" that events and objects "move through", nor to any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and thus is not itself measurable nor can it be travelled.

I love how the mechanical clock is black and white. Gives it a stiff metallic look. Bursting through the center is the wonderful colors of life, energy, emotion. Some of the patterns almost look like butterfly wings. The color looks to be spreading around and infecting its surroundings or washing away the lifeless/emotionless rigid feeling of logic/time.

Your analysis of this piece was kind of awesome, Mike ~~ thank you for the in depth comment/compliment. I find the concept of time fascinating. While we try to control it by assigning measurements, we really can't control it. One person will have a day where it seemed like it would never end and another will experience the same 24 hours feeling that it was over before it started. "I've got time on my hands" and "I'm running out of time"... Someone loses time and someone else will find the time... and midnight will always come a second after today and a second before tomorrow ~~ :)
