Exchange Rate fuses mechanical gestures with the quiet tick of passing days. Old register keys hint at value, but the real currency may be the calendar itself. This piece asks us: what do we sell without meaning to?

Copper and steel articulating arms
Hex bolt fasteners
1977 printed calendar ephemera
Framed box construction
Three register keys—"$2", "3", and "30"—jut from sweeping limbs of steel and copper. Anchored within a box collaged from a 1977 calendar and vintage print, this piece offers a kinetic reflection on time and valuation. The limbs, jointed and angular, seem to reach or point, like hands of a clock or arms of a ledger. It’s a quiet meditation on the commodification of time.
