The time of the object

An object does not exist in the instant. It exists in duration.

The time of an object begins before its making — in the choice of material, in the gesture that precedes.

It continues during its making — in slowness, verification, the refusal of almost-right.

It extends after — in patina, use, the memory of the one who wears it.

A right object does not belong to a season. It belongs to a life.
