This clock was made from a stone I found here in western MA. Two slices from this live edge stone are bookmatched with a black epoxy strip between them. Bookmatching is a technique used in woodworking and stonework where two or more pieces are cut from the same, in this case, stone and arranged to create a symmetrical, mirror-like pattern. Imagine a stone being cut in half and then opened like a book. The stones are grey with heavy striated patterns of black and white quartz, polished to a high shine to create this 5.75” wide by 21.25” tall masterpiece.
A solid copper wire bonsai tree decorates the bottom with bright shiny leaves and a liver of sulfur blackened trunk. The top of the clock features custom Godwood "flame" shaped hands and stylized diamond shaped numbers at 12, 3, 6 and 9, all black, balancing out the entire piece.
