making work about time I think about this a lot… to accumulate 1 million seconds it takes about 11 and 1/2 days to accumulate 1 billion seconds it takes 32 years. I think about this in terms of drawing and individual marks but can’t help but feel it as we talk about wealth and debt…

First post on this platform, I’m Kevin Townsend, artist, husband, educator, dad and dork. I make big, public (conceptual) drawings that give visual form to time and labor. Any tips, or recommendations for connecting with the artists and thinkers here would be greatly appreciated!
