If you’ve read even a little on this blog, you know that I have a love of clocks—from the elegant and well-made to the curious and unusual. Roger Wood is my kind of artist. He builds “handmade, one-of-a-kind, whimsical timepieces” that are straight out of a Victorian timewarp. Lovely mechanical assemblages of both found and manufactured objects, his clocks are works of art. As Roger Wood himself says in a video interview available on CBC television, his works are “sculpture disguised as clocks.” One in particular that I fancy is the Jules Verne clock—maybe some day when I have a spare $700 burning a hole in my pocket.
