Description

The once-was is almost gone, and something new is fluidly emerging. A design for those who like me, find perfection boring.

All of the brass forms for this piece were first cut from thick plate, and then ground to the final sculpted shape. A selenious acid patina was applied to darken and age the surface, and also add depth. The face of the clock is kitikata rice paper, weathered and eroded, and then finished off with a series of warm oil washes.

Dimensions: 12" tall x 8" wide x 2.5" deepΒ 

Quartz movement

This piece seems more simple, but is so beautiful. I love the flow of the piece, and the smallness of it is somehow appealing.

Thank you! This one just returned from an exhibition in New York, and is now on sale from my website ericfreitas.com. Hopefully I can find a good home for it. I'll miss it when it sells.

Amazingly beautiful, as always. One day, when my bankaccount is very full.... a girl can dream!
