Domes-Tick-Tock

Whilst living without clocks, I began to take more notice of how long activities took to complete. I knew how long I took to get ready in the morning, how long my toaster took to perfect my toast. I decided to try applying this to tangible, readable means.
I had timed a range of my kitchen appliances and chose to present this graphically. After using a timeline to connect these time spans, I then singled out individual appliances and documented their range of potential timings. By tagging a toaster or a kettle with this information, I was then able to use these objects as timers in their own rights, removing the need for a standard kitchen timer.
