"One of the most tenacious conceptual threats to work, and to Captain Clock’s Hegemonic Time, is childhood itself. Children have a dogged, delicious disrespect for work-time, punctuality, efficiency and for schooled uniform time. Their time is an eternal-present." -Jay Griffiths, Sideways Look at Time

"Consumer societies are stealing children away from their kith, their family of nature, in a steady alienation. This is not about some luxury, a hobby, a bit of playtime in the garden." - A Country Called Childhood by Jay Griffiths

As children, time was unstructured in our perspective. How could we bring that back? That feeling of freeing "eternal-present" and innocence?

As children, what were time tellers for us? Light and darkness, seasons, mealtimes, school, play, and being at home. But what about during summer with no school?

I want to focus on the sun, moon, and seasons/weather and integrate sound. I eventually want to give this as a gift to my god son and daughter and want it to be put in the playroom or babyroom, so the main aesthetic would be child-like and friendly and cute.
