Junk Clocks and Other Thoughts on Time

Documentation images from installation at Open Source Gallery Gowanus, Brooklyn. Culmination of a residency in the space, which shared a lot with a junkyard, both of which were slated for destruction.

In Junk Clocks and Other Thoughts on Time, McDermott imagines alternative methods for keeping time which interact with the human body, the built environment and nature, in both abstract and literal ways. These concepts are described, sketched, and tested, particularly Junk Clocks, which visualize the way in which prevailing systems of keeping time are ill-equipped for conceptualizing the rate of decay of the things we leave behind.
