illuminate (the most beautiful night ever) - clock 2011 Esherick museum themed competition/exhibition

I was really excited to find out the theme for the 2011 Esherick show....

Continuing on with the theme of  "Abstract Anatomy" I designed this clock to be a functional art piece. It was the first time I used a two inch thick mahogany single panel to create a work out of.

Walking into my grandparents house who were antique dealers/collectors you could help but be surrounded by clocks of all manners. I was excited to put my own unique spin on the form.

ILLUMINATE (the most beautiful night ever)

the piece was described as follows for the exhibition : 

Although this work was declined from the exhibition I still really love the piece and it became a building block for my works to come.

It would also mark the final time I would create a work for this exhibition as the following year I would become very busy with collaborations and custom projects.
