‘Clockwork’ by Deidre Curren

Curren, who lived and worked in London as a graphic desginer for a number of years, explains that “I guess, living in Africa, we tend to get used to “African Time”, which loosely defined means that being an hour or so late for an appointment isn’t seen as rude or disrespectful. The more important you are, the later you are allowed to be.”

“If you happen to be using public transport, you simply have no way of knowing what time the bus or train will leave the station. “Clockwork” reminded me not so much of clocks, but more of efficiency in London. “LIKE CLOCKWORK!”. London=Clockwork. I’m reminded of my first train journey to Edinburgh from Kings Cross Station and how the numbers on the electronic clock ticked over to the last second and the 8:00 train pulled out of the station at precisely 8:00. Not one second later!” Deidre continues to design and her interest in time is continued in her business creating Quirky Clox.
