It was created from an exhibition '100 Timepieces', where each participant was given a watch face and part. The subject of this work is rather dark and macabre. Inspired by the cycle of life and death and how we should make our lives count. The old saying 'Time is Precious, Spend it Wisely' was the starting point for this sculpture.
Make time for yourself and others, treasure it well. Time is the most valuable thing we possess, more precious than riches and gold. From the moment we are born our clocks are ticking. Counting down until our journey from this world to the next. Remember your coin for the Ferryman." This is the artist statement to accompany the piece.

Full description
This stunning one of a kind three dimensional assemblage is made from found objects and mixed media. Titled 'Precious (Tick Tock)', it can be viewed from all angles and features a quirky collage on the reverse.
Giving off an opulent air, with the turquoise and gold representing wealth, each compartment houses little 'treasures' encased in beeswax, as if permanently suspended in time. It is a compact piece of art measuring 12cm wide, 25cm high and 3cm deep.
This piece is for sale as a second as it is older work and I am clearing my studio for all the new art I am creating!
Designed by Katie Gill in Scarborough
