This is the fourth in an evolving series of neolithic clocks. The emphasis has been on function, with function driving form. Almost everything about this piece has been dictated by the nature of clay, its strength, its brittleness, and the limited precision possible forming the pieces by hand. The pieces that appear to move (the gears, the hands) can move. The gearing is such that the hour hand travels 1/12th of a rotation for each full rotation of the minute hand.
The image to the left is interactive (if you have Quicktime installed). By dragging it with your mouse, you can rotate the object to view it from any of 36 angles.
Aproximately 18 x 18 x 10 inches (45 x 45 x 20 cm), it is entirely ceramic (slab-built; raku clay; sawdust-fired).
