Inertia(Pulse of Your Dying Heart Equals Mine)
2022


240v-to-12v transformers, DC-to-DC converters, clock mechanisms,compass needles

A set of 12, each set comprised of 30 to 31 clock devices, dimensions variable

The functionality of battery-powered clock mechanisms is compromised, and subsequently re-combined with compass needles, thus enabling their operation via a domestic electricity supply. The conceptual frameworks through which humans comprehend time and space are shaped by inventions designed to measure, quantify and delineate our quotidian existence. Until such phenomena reach a state of submission, the work intervenes in our perceptual sensation, engendering an environment characterised by numbness and anxiety.
