Time Stretches                                                                                                                    

Creased Tablecloth, drop leaf table                                                                                              1200 x 600 x 900mm approx                                                                                                       2009

A simple arrangement of a tablecloth and drop-leaf table monitors the passing of time through an economic means. The old fashioned style of the tablecloth reveals its age and its strong creases have fixed and set over a decade of undisturbed storage. Those years will now be reversed or unwound as the fabric's weight pulls the creases from its vertically hanging sections. Viewers are witness to a tiny fraction of this long and apparently indiscernible process.
