Up Cycle

Welcome!

Taking inspiration from form and function in mechanical parts for bicycles and automobiles, my clocks and sculptures highlight the art of function in these parts that were otherwise headed for the trash.

I hope they encourage you to see beauty in the mundane; and also encourage reuse and recycling.

These clocks highlights the contrast in colors and materials in the bicycle gears.   

I drew my inspiration from a wall of clocks for sale in a store.  I thought about making clocks from round objects that were designed for other uses such as car speedometers and bicycle gears.  After a few trips to the junk yard and the bike store, I had the substrates for the project. 

The hardest part of the project: cleaning off years of dirt and grime from bike gears

The most fun: seeing the finished projects 

The most challenging: drilling through the metal bike parts
