TCOT ARTIST STATEMENT 2.7.08 I am busy working on my daily schedule of
tasks (I feel like a machine). Somebody starts poking me from
behind, saying, "Hey bud, speed it up, work faster, you're
too slow." Without turning around I yell, "I am working
faster!" He keeps poking me and repeating the same words.
So I swing around, my hand thrusting out to repel his poking,
when in mid-swing I look down and notice my hand is not a hand,
but a long shiny object that connects to my elbow. It is a sword.
My swing continues and strikes the hand that is poking me. However
it is not a hand. It is a sword too. His sword is actually a
minute hand and the person who is poking me is a giant clock.
We engage in battle. Our swords clank loudly each time they strike
sending sparks into the air. We battle for hours. I eventually
knock him down. He does not get up, but he keeps on ticking.
I walk away and remark with disgust, "You've wasted my time."
I go to the bathroom to clean up. I look into the mirror and
I see; The artworks in "The Clash Of My Times" are about my real or imagined or dreamed or daydreamed conflicts or struggles or battles or wars involving time or time clocks.
