Moonworks 1 is a big piece. The antique pocket watch is a beautiful etched steel piece, probably an Elgin but I am not totally sure. The striped celluloid bead is one of my favorites and the moon is done on shrink film and set into one of the circular cutouts that are part of the watch piece. In this case, the moon face is actually printed rather than hand drawn on the shrink film before miniaturization and is a permanent part of the surface now.
I have a thing for old watch parts- they are not only beautiful, but represent the height of artistry and craftsmanship. Dating from the earliest portable clocks, craftsmen attained a level of skill and precision with hand tools that is all but lost today in industrial production. I love the juxtaposition of sophisticated machinery with the ethnic feel of the large bead, leather cord and iron wire.
