i make clocks out of found and often discarded objects. I am often asked how I find inspiration for my clocks. I have two ways that I found work for me.

(1.) An idea hits me often when I least expect it. I quickly sketch the idea on whatever is laying around. I take this rough sketch with me as I look through second hand stores, thrift shops, yard sales, and flea markets looking for various objects and materials that I can use to create my piece.

(2.) While I am wandering through these stores an idea can be sparked by finding forgotten and often broken objects. The design of the piece evolves from the found objects. Each idea will often change as the piece is constructed.
