This book was produced to house research concerning the establishment and eventual collapse of standardized time. It details the design of time-keeping spanning from the dawn of civilization, through the Industrial Revolution and into hypothetical time-keeping systems of the distant future.

Aesthetically it borrows from my previously produced copy of The Collapse of Western Civilization: A View From the Future, due to their shared role in a canon of documents predicting speculative futures. It adopts the same semi-translucent vellum cover, and lo-fi means of printing and production. The book is paired with a collection of loose–paper illustrations and sketches featured within the book. Authored and self published by myself, with additional guidance and input from Anastasiia Raina and Chris Woebken.

The book functions as a textbook of the present recorded from the perspective of the future – presenting the predicaments of the present day as though it were history. It meticulously details the sources of Western Civilization’s fall within the next century due to self-initiated climate change, and the industrial momentum that propels society into climate collapse. Alongside this book I also developed a webpage meant to allow for online viewings and supplemental material.

Cover is bound in semi-translucent sanded vellum, and is rough to the touch.

For several months I, alongside Frederick Horton, Maxton O’Connor and Nate Krohn, consistently visiting Carr's Pond, a dense forest and lake, which is about forty-five minutes outside of Providence in rural Rhode Island used for recreational swimming, camping and hunting. We became interested in ways to both see and be seen within the site, where day-glo neon orange is legally required during hunting season. This led us to make visual studies on the roles of both day-glo and camouflage within this landscape. Our studies eventually culminated in printing a handful of books, as well as designing a reversible windbreaker with which to more thoughtfully exist and travel through the land.

I helped in ideating and creating the RISD 2021 Yearbook as a member of the RISD Design Guild. The book features portraits of the graduating class as well as pixel drawings from every student, which were gathered from a website we created and hosted. Through this method each student was able to customize their page and express themselves. Swiss bound with visible binding.
