Time Has Meaning

November 4, 2009

I am helping a friend/college mate/ wonderful artist and would like to call upon my blog readers.  You can actually in name or anonymously, be part of an exhibit in Portland Oregon, USA. Here is how:

“My name is Kristen and I am doing a glass bead installation project about time. I am interested in time’s mystery and our efforts to measure and define it. Can you think of a number or numbers, which represent a time that is meaningful in your life?

Some people have put the age when they got married, had children, year of their first car. One guy put the number 3 as that is how many days it took his dog Rosie to find a grape that he dropped on the floor. Another friend put his childhood telephone area code.. as it held great meaning for him. I put 27 as that was a great year and like Ground Hog day I live it over and over and over.

She just wants the number and its significance. She will collect the information and string glass beads to represent each response, RESULTING  in a wall of glass beads hanging freely.

  1. you can leave a comment and I will see that she gets them
  2. you can email her directly timeismeaning@gmail.com
  3. or you can contact me with the information.

She will post them at the exhibit and if you want an announcement of the exhibit, also provide your name and email address or snail mail address.
