Biography

In 2013, Turón became interested in the concept of time and began drawing counting marks to represent time. The concept comes from the expression “make every second count” which can be perceived in different ways in life.

Being aware of our ephemeral existence in time and question if we are spending our time efficiently, or is life just slipping through our fingers? She explores the idea of how we make our time count in the things that matter. Each mark symbolizes a second and she keeps count of every mark she makes, doing this gives visible form to the idea of “make every second count”. The marks are positioned to create a pattern of an abstract shape as an interpretation of time.
