Growing up I used to enjoy an idea I saw in a movie Crossroads where these girls put their most precious items in a box and buried it. They waited until they graduated high school to dig it up.
For my project I want to center a focus on time and growth. Our bodies also are vessels of us, everything we contain is in this vessel we spend our daily lives in.
I want to make this a wall piece, The center will be a clock, Surrounding the clock I will make shapes to resemble leaves or petals, objects in nature that can symbolize growth.
Similar to this, but mixing wood and metal together.
The circles that look to have grown out further in time will be items that signify movement over time, I haven't decided if i want to make it on a person level with pictures, or do random objects that can give the viewer a feel of progressive time.
I want to mix the media in this project because i feel as though the wood can signify natural growth, while the metal can give more of a space look of time travel

Hi Amanda,
I'm liking a lot of the components of your idea. I really enjoyed your reference of time as a vessel. I think your concept has some really strong points, but I don't think you necessarily need the clock since we immediately reference time. How can you make your materials reference time without using symbols we typically relate time with? Do the materials change over time? Does he piece grow over time?
Take a look at these artists
Elena Lourenco- uses materials that deteriorate
Rivane Neuschwander (I may have spelled that wrong) The project is called your wish is my wish. (This is an installation that changes over time)
Fernando Mastrangelo (Virgin Mary made of Birdseed)
