A Brief History
of Clockthing
Sometime
in 1998 Clockthing began from
my wanting to give a unique birthday gift to a friend.
Zira was born.
She
was made of foam core and photos
and was the fist multidimensional clock I had made.
Over
the course of the year I worked on my technique and developed a more
substantial Clockthing made with Plexiglas as seen here in Betsy's next
birthday gift,
'The Brady Girls'
People
saw the Clockthings I had been making for friends and began to request
Clockthings of their own.
In between touring and recording I continued making and perfecting Clockthings
that were
in keeping with my attitude about what is worthwhile.
The main point being Clockthings are made for myself.
Clockthing is mine. Input from people requesting commissions is general,
what subject, not which image. Clockthings began to appear around town.
Tattoo parlors, Hair Salons and at CBGB's art gallery, in three separate
shows, the most recent being Burning Sensation II, December 2002.
