Artist Statement
Chronos One is an interactive sculpture that explores themes of time, presence, and peace.
Passerbyers are invited to watch time pass by with the soothing swing of the pendulum contained in this sci-seeming device. Iconically suggesting the shape of a spacecraft, this timecraft transports the viewer to precisely Now.
Instead of blasting off, we are invited to look within. The rocketship becomes a shelter where we are offered a rare moment of peace.
