Rickard Duet Clock - Desert

The Afternoon online is excited to offer this unique art. The gap between the top and bottom of this clock creates a subtle tension, as the pendulum is clearly separated from the time keeping function. This beautiful pendulum clock design is the work of artist Robert Rickard. Rickard's studio is in the mountains above Taos, New Mexico. His is a scientific approach. After using a hand-held plasma cutter to carve his designs into the base metal, each sculpture is then coated with other metals; typically copper, bronze, and iron. Each of these metals reacts differently to the chemical patinas and dye oxides with which the pieces are finished, creating a rich palette of hues. The photo shown here is representative of a "Desert" finish on this clock design; because each clock is a unique artwork, the actual finish of the clock you receive will vary slightly. 7” x 24.5”
