Project Description

Time Waits, 2015
Video loop with audio
Duration: 02:00 minutes
Production and special effects: Tom Hillman

Time Waits is an unaltered video of shadows falling across one of my paintings that is
leaning against my studio wall. The painting, a portrait of man, is partially obscured by
silhouettes of outside leaves moving with the wind. The video image comes in and out
of focus. One side of a telephone conversation is overheard. The sound is rhythmic and
repetitive; the words stand in to signify the passage of time. The audio begins before the
image can be clearly seen adding to a sense of eavesdropping.
