TAQUIN
TAQUIN, wall clock Diameter: 18 cm, depth: 8.6 cm, red earthenware, 2023.
TAQUIN is a terracotta ceramic wall clock.
Without numerals, the dial simply divided into four equal parts gives more of a sense of the passing of time. The hands seem to slide over the barely inclined sides, blurring the regularity in favor of transience. In contrast to the materiality of the clock, which is revealed by its deliberately exaggerated thickness, like a terracotta disc that seems to be extracting itself from the wall surface.
It is this ambivalence that the name TAQUIN reflects: A strong presence in space at the same time as a relative imprecision in its function. A mischievous, formal and lexical reversal, its title can also evoke the tac of the seconds and the crenellated border, almost mechanical, which cuts out the quarter-hours that make up the surface of the record and its cadenced edge.
