Nimbus  (artist's collection)

found object assemblage with gold foil; 20x24”; My father-in-law was a horologist - someone who fixes clocks. When he died, he left an entire basement full of clocks and clock parts piled in cigar boxes as high as my head, many of which came home to my studio. I had been thinking about the places in a life where ordinary objects or situations reveal unexpected grace when Alden asked me to make him a piece using some of those clock parts; Nimbus is the result.
