Humanity's complexity, grandeur and folly is explored in this installation where unique imagery, in intricate and thought-provoking compositions, seeks to capture time. Inspired by medieval Books of Hours, Robert Powell's latest exhibition features animation, prints, sculpture and sound installation, reflecting how we experience, order and preserve time.

This new body of work expands on themes found within his previous Alt-w commission, Chronoscope. Powell continues to reflect on clocks and experiences of time from the past, including the practices of different cultures. In considering the patterns that emerge from their different approaches, he is also mindful of the effect that climate change has on time.
