Robert and Jacqueline Rickard, of Rickard Studio, Kronosworks Clocks, handcraft these metal art wall clocks. Their work is made from aluminum, with designs cut into the metal. Portions of the surface are brushed and textured, so that the bright metal, contrasts with the patinas and dyes, which provide color.
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.
Handmade in the USA.
