‘A Lifetime’ Accordion Book

[project brief:]
Use the themes of space, time or move­ment to cre­ate an accor­dion book.

[my take:]
By choos­ing time as my theme I was able to uti­lize the con­struc­tion of the accor­dion book to flow from page to page just as time flows unheed­ingly. “Noth­ing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost is laid out within the book a a num­ber of dif­fer­ent inter­vals to show how we expe­ri­ence time in our lives. When we are chil­dren life is not as busy or stress­ful and time feels like a nor­mal pac­ing, but as we get older and take on more resposi­bil­ties life becomes hec­tic and irra­tionably quick. The back­ground plays this same part and is built of expe­ri­ences and tasks we do dur­ing the days of our lives accord­ing to what age we are. There is a time ticker below through­out to show that time is as steady as ever, it is just our expe­ri­ences that quicken our per­ceiv­ing of it.
