First Week RESISTANCE – The Oppression of ASL in Deaf History (February 17) Day 1 of 28 days CLOCK (R) Meaning: Clocks have many different characters. Clocks can be symbolized as urgency or a sense that time is running out. They also can symbolize being stuck in time or wasting time/a lack of progress. If a clock has no hands, it can communicate a sense of timelessness or infinity. If a clock face is backward, it can mean confusion/distortion or can set the scene for a flashback. Clocks can be metaphors for life or death/beginnings or endings. Explanation: motif explained by Minja Jung https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg0hSQUrFAI “I will Never Forget” by Ellen Mansfield, Gone with the Wind by Tony M. Fowler.

First  Week  RESISTANCE  –  The  Oppression  of  ASL  in  Deaf  History  (February  1-­‐7)  Day  1  of  28  days  

CLOCK  (R)    Meaning:  Clocks  have  many  different  characters.  Clocks  can  be  symbolized  as  urgency  or  a  sense  that  time  is  running  out.    They  also  can  symbolize  being  stuck  in  time  or  wasting  time/a  lack  of  progress.  If  a  clock  has  no  hands,  it  can  communicate  a  sense  of  timelessness  or  infinity.  If  a  clock  face  is  backward,  it  can  mean  confusion/distortion  or  can  set  the  scene  for  a  flashback.  Clocks  can  be  metaphors  for  life  or  death/beginnings  or  endings.    Explanation:  motif  explained  by  Minja  Jung  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eg0hSQUrFAI    “I  will  Never  Forget”  by  Ellen  Mansfield,  Gone  with  the  Wind  by  Tony  M.  Fowler.  Remember  to  use  hashtag  #ASL28Challenge  when  posting  your  daily  motifs.

 Day  1  of  28  Days  The  Grandfather  Clock  CLOCK  motif  (R)  Topic:  ASL  in  Deaf  History  16  inch  by  20  inch  Oil  on  canvas  Nancy  Rourke  #ASL28Challenge    Description:  There  are  nine  motifs  in  the  painting.  I  have  used  the  mother  and  child  motif  on  other  paintings  that  related  to  newborn  hearing  screening,  the  elephant  in  the  Deaf  room,  etc.  The  impaled  hand  referred  to  ASL  banned.  The  roman  numeral  12  numbers  12  is  another  motif  that  is,  to  honour  the  first  12  Deaf  who  died  from  complicated  CI  surgeries.  The  elephant  is  behind  the  clock.  The  story  about  the  painting  is  the  history  of  how  ASL  was  banned  and  the  oralism  invaded  and  the  Deaf  culture  was  attacked.  It  started  from  Milan  1880  through  the  time  of  Alexander  Graham  Bell.  The  Ear  motif  refers  to  AGBELL  along  with  the  swirls  as  cochlear.  The  moon  dial  with  the  bell  motif  shows  that  it  is  almost  midnight,  is  when  the  cultural  genocide  happened.  The  image  of  the  tree  is  the  eugenics  tree  and  it  moves.  This  clock  seems  to  be  haunted  to  many  who  have  experienced  that  in  the  past.  (the  word  “haunted”  refers  to  deaf  experience,  not  to  ghost).
