The piece I present is a ceramic clock or plate hanging on
the wall. The dots decorating the plate are reminiscent of
the hours on a stopped clock.
“(...) If social demands were previously satisfied by a
town crier or bells summoning the faithful to prayer in
the morning, midday, or evening, it belongs to a later
stage of social demands that public clocks indicate the
hours, and to a subsequent period in the development
of society that such clocks indicate the minutes and
seconds. –Time: An Essay (Norbert Elias, 1989)
