Metronome is an
investigation into the nature of time. The work references the multiple measures of time
that simultaneously inform and confound our consciousness of the moment within the
continuum. This composite work intends to evoke contemplation on the dynamic flux of the
city. The elements suggest the instant and infinity, astronomical sequence, geological
epoch and ephemerality. Metronome is meant to be integral to the very history,
architectural fabric, spirit and vitality of the city. Ultimately, the work is an ode to
mortality and the impossibility of knowing time.
