A Point Just Passed

A time card punch clock with a video person stuck in a dome on top. As the viewer punches the time cards, the person gets older based on time punch increments. At the last punch the dome goes dark and the cycle begins again. Viewers virtually erase the youth of the person through the passage of time. With each punch the memory of one's childhood is further erased from the dome. It is possible that some viewers may never experience the full length of the piece. The sculpture is a self portrait memorial for the artist. Updated over the years this piece allows us to view different stages of the artists life and hopefully consider the role of time in our own lives. How much of our time is spent at work, with loved ones, online? How do we value these moments?
