Woody De Othello’s “Some Time Moves Fast, Some Time Moves Slow” is a large-scale bronze depicting a seated, hunched figure, embracing a clock. Resting on the figure’s shoulder is a telephone receiver, positioned as if a call is in place. The work relates to the nebulous nature of time, a consistent theme in Othello’s practice. It was conceived at the height of the pandemic, when days merged into weeks, and social interaction was relegated to devices. It was then that tender moments of connection were of utmost importance for the survival of isolation. Othello’s practice questions how human experiences are manifested through the objects that surround us: clocks suggest temporality; air conditioning units and fans reflect breath and life force, and rotary telephones are a reminder for us to communicate our feelings.
