my admiration for antique clocks started from an early age. my grandfather had a large collection of clocks and watch parts - many of which were inherited from his father’s timepiece repair business. when these time-keepers lose their tick, they make for beautiful curio displays. the gears and springs that are disassembled from the clocks are used for future art and jewelry pieces. inside these clocks and shadowboxes, i create whimsical and peculiar scenes - some of which can light up, play music, and even ring a bell.
