Time's daughter

Time's daughter is a hypertext poetic work that explores the themes of desire, expectation and contemplation. The user begins at a simple home page with a choice of seven words( where, view, belly, time, eon, face, hands ) through which the user can start traversing through the poem/s. It is a collaboration with digital media artist, Robin Petterd. The use of html is very simple and the aesthetics of the project are similarly simple, offering in the main, a white screen with small image and dominant text in varying positions on the page. Occasionally, images or animated gifs are tiled behind text. Sometimes the page scrolls horizontally forcing the user to engage with the whole screen in order to find the linked word to lead them to the next fragment. The simple navigation with limited hyperlinks and pared down early html aesthetic showcases the recontextualisation of the fragments, in terms of layout, sequence and dynamism of text: a research concern of the artist during this period.
