This time-based video art physically dissects the concept of time and reorders it to make sense, while also announcing a personal journey attempting to explain the lost concepts of time, connection and childhood fantasy.

Through song and moving image, the piece explores the inescapable bounds of time imposed on a moment, fleeting and impossible to recapture, reenact or re-access at a later time in any pristine condition. Moving from a Rube Goldberg inspired machine, the clock acting as meta-time, is captured, released and finally dissected by our explorer. Working within nature's constraints of time, the sunlight and the impending dusk, the clock is torn apart and strategically hung in a ceremony to preserve every untouchable aspect of a memory. In a brief moment of supposed victory, our explorer moves onto the last known artifact of the memory he seeks, reading, reviewing, building another container for that moment. Securing the written record to a toy plane, the memory is launched to another place, hopefully more secure, more sacred, only to be lifted and carried away yet again. Time is unable to be contained or kept in anything short of a copy, a duplicate or a replica. Childhood memories become faded and washed into memories of viewing home movies of memories. Connection to anything short of the immediate is artificial and falsified. This piece allows the explorer to physically attempt to change the reality of time and memory, but ultimately his efforts remains impossibly unsuccessful.
