Time Will Tell
Original Wood Totem Sculpture
 
About the Piece
 
Time Will Tell is an original sculptural totem that explores humanity's evolving relationship with time, wakefulness, and the pursuit of rest. Constructed from reclaimed wood remnants and finished in a rich matte ink blue, the sculpture transforms discarded materials into an architectural composition inspired by the geometry of a sundial.
 
The stacked vertical forms, rhythmic horizontal divisions, and carved recesses create a visual language reminiscent of measured hours, shifting shadows, and the quiet passage of time. Hand-applied gold leaf catches ambient light throughout the day, allowing the sculpture to subtly change as natural light moves across its surface.
 
Bold yet contemplative, Time Will Tell functions as both a sculptural artwork and an architectural object, inviting viewers to slow down and consider how time shapes our lives.
 
Inspiration & Symbolism
 
Created as part of the Nocturnal Collection, Time Will Tell reflects the tension between productivity and rest. The towering form evokes a contemporary sundial, measuring not only hours but also the emotional landscape between wakefulness, dreaming, and sleep.
 
The carved intervals reference the divisions of time, while the negative spaces symbolize moments that cannot be recovered—the hours lost to insomnia, distraction, anticipation, or reflection. The gold-leaf semicircular forms represent shifting sunlight and the cyclical rhythm of each day, reminding us that time is both constant and deeply personal.
