Book Description:

The ticking clock and the draining hourglass are universal symbols of time, but artists possess their own varied and unique vocabularies to tackle Time. In TICK-TOCK, they look at Time's impact through a range of media and find meaning in the tools that chart Time-clocks, calendars, sundials, hourglasses, digital timekeepers, and time-elapsed video. In their skilled hands these everyday working devices can rise to the level of poetry.
