The works presented all share a dialogue dealing with the passage of time. The headrests speak about the journey, a flowing, meandering type of time. In the timepieces the hands of the clock suggest a more scientific or mechanical idea of time. The hands are clustered to suggest the concept of multidimensiality in time and space. The scratch-offs suggest a more temporal idea of time, the daily news. Covered in silver lottery scratch-off ink, the events of the day are obscured and mystified. These works are a type of minimalism forced on a type of maximalism and an accurate portrayal of the current state of the news media and people´s attitude towards it. Daily affairs are rendered ambiguous.

 

Verkin á sýningunni hafa öll með framrás tímans að gera. Höfuðpúðarnir eru ferðalagið, flæðandi, hlykkjóttur tími. Í klukkuverkunum benda vísarnir á vísindalegri, rökrænni hugmynd um tíma. Þyrpingar vísanna vísa í fjölvíddir tíma og rúms. Skafmiðaefnið hylur tímabundið efni, fréttir dagsins. Huldir undir skafmiðaefninu eru atburðir dagsins sveipaðir dulúð. Naumhyggjan tekur við af ofhlæði upplýsinga, hlutirnir eru einfaldaðir. Atburðir líðandi stundar eru gerðir óræðir.
