Notes from the Artist:

Why choose to make a watch for the monthly challenge? I discovered that the charity of the month was autism speaks. One of the challenges for someone with high functioning Autism is to learn to tell the time. But its more complicated than that, it’s being able to equate what the time is with what’s going on around you as well. Time also links in with routine, (as far as I can tell), because its important to be able to organise yourself into a daily, weekly and monthly routine. When to eat, when to sleep, when to wash. Maybe even then, you may forget to look to see what the time is, so you may not do these routines at the same time each day. Even if you don’t, isn’t it strange that time goes by anyway, even if you are not watching it. This is only from a mother’s perspective though, my son probably disagrees with all I’ve said. He may say that its nothing to do with time at all, but then he is much smarter than me, and is more concerned with the speed of light! So it may be my artist’s mind that has conjured up a fantasy, that ‘time is important.’ none of us know how much of it we have left.

I wanted this gift of time to be pretty and ‘over the top’, which it is. I just hope someone out there will get the benefit of the watch as well as the charity, as it’s made with love.
