"Burien Street Clock" by Kim David Hall

Burien’s unique downtown clock’s anthropomorphic shape gives it a whimsical, friendly, and engaging personality. The clock appears to be tilting its head inquisitively. Numerals on the clock were chosen to be reminiscent of scientific instruments from the early 1900s. A functional element of the downward-facing clock is its increased readability for pedestrians, bikers, and drivers.

• What emotion does this clock express? How does it make you feel? Why?
