Time

"Time is of the essence", "Make time...", lunch time, bedtime, day time, nighttime, nap time, play time, "Time", wasting time, break time, This Time of Year, "everything happens in its own time", "things of quality have no fear of time", "Good Time", "time heals all wounds", "Give Me Just a Little More Time", time flies when you're having fun", "time of your life", "what time is it?", "quittin' time", "bad timing", "the right time", "this time", "Hammer Time", TIME Magazine, daylight savings time, telling time, "Time of My Life", time in a bottle, perfect timing, time management, "Nothin' But a Good Time", "Clocks", "I'm late, I'm late for a very important date!", "Hurry up and wait", "I Will Wait", "Good Times" (the TV show), "Time After Time", hang time, "Right Now", "just give it time", and my absolute favorite, "One Moment in Time". 

There are millions of references to time in everyone's everyday life.  This list/stream of consciousness doesn't even make a dent.  [Nevermind all the uncited references there ;) ].  Time has been a prominent thought in my mind for a while now, and especially since I've gotten back from Ireland.  My body and mind are still readjusting.  Just tonight, I've started to think about it in relation to art; although, I definitely don't want to make a literal piece.  A couple of years ago, I was planning a dear friend's bridal shower and the theme was "What's Your Favorite Time of Day".  The point was to give something from your favorite time of day i.e. kitchen stuff for a meal time, bath stuff for bath time, and so on. How would you represent time in a painting, sculpture, print, photograph, etcetera without being obvious?  Time effects everything we do, all of the time!
