05 Something O'Clock (Featuring a Beautiful Girl Gang of Cows)

A functioning, clock mechanism inserted into a cast, tri-coloured back plate. The hands of the clock are cut from sterling silver sheet and inserted into the arm sockets.On the left of this piece hangs a set of fully closed, hollow copper ellipsoids. The five descending objects suspend freely through a series of jump rings, attached to the acrylic through a secure rivet.The five cow heads were originally carved by hand in wax, cast in bronze, then moulded and reproduced in resin. A wire rebar hidden between each cow head and the back plate strengthen the adhesion between the two plastics.Both the copper stand and ellipsoids are polished to a mirror finish, allowing the viewer to see multitudes of their reflection on the convex metal surfaces.Photo credit: Aleena Derohanian

“A wavy clock with wavy arms, making it a little difficult to tell the time (almost as if you were abducted by aliens and have no sense of time or recent memory when you came back down to earth)”
