Laura Prange on the meaning of Time/Moon Poem

"My work explores the possibility of reconciliation between the body and the mind. In particular this is a response to the ever-increasing emphasis on creations of the mind in contemporary culture: science and technology. I question the human relationship to technology and the way technology mediates our everyday experience s space and time and things. Direct experience of our bodies in space has the potential to revive a poetic and even spiritual connectedness with the world.

"Time/Moon Poem" is a meditation on two ways of being in the world, represented by two ways of keeping time. The body's clock is an organic time-keeper, a part of the natural world's process, and the technological clock is abstract, detached form the natural world. The grid not only provides a framework for reading the two ways of keeping time (the organic way is above the title line of the piece and the rational way is below), it allows the two ways to be read as part of the same continuum on the vertical axis."
