Tesselating the Days

visualizing the year – because Time is Art

Hello friends. I’ve been experimenting with different ways to represent the year, in order to make our time more easily navigable. In the end, I’ve sort of fallen down a rabbit hole of patterns, numbers, and shapes.

Currently, I’m looking at tesselations – those shapes that fit together, like MC Escher’s art, and quilts.

Arrows of Time

Each arrow is shaded a unique colour, each of which is assigned to a particular day of the year. The above image is, among other things, a calendar.
