Our experience of presence is at the juncture between memory and anticipation; past and future. The paradox of time suggests that we can experience the present as all now or as a fleeting moment.  REFLECTING TIME links these experiences to simultaneous feelings of thanks and hope.  Viewers will be able to stand in the central doorway of the Scarbrough Building and see the imagery and text move away from them, towards 'past' and 'future' as well as walk along the street moving from 'past' to 'future' or 'future' to 'past'.

REFLECTING TIME is a site-specific installation of projected imagery and poetry designed for the historic windows of the Scarbrough Building  on Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas.  It fuses gratitude with celebration at a moment caught between glimpsed memories and hopes for the future.  The projected imagery and poetry in REFLECTING TIME flows in opposite directions across two 65 foot screens installed on either side of the Congress Street entrance of the Scarbrough Building.
