"Balancing Time"

Metal Clock

Created by Malcolm Owen and Mary Ann Owen
We all can relate to the theme of this clock. As much as we try, time always wins. The clock looks like it could pivot, but it doesn't. It looks great on a desk or bookshelf. The clock is made of copper with brass weights and individually cast sterling silver figures. It has a quartz movement that runs on a AA battery which is included with the clock. The movement is concealed from view by a copper disc. The entire piece is immersed in a liquid sulfurated potash solution which yields the dark patina. When that is dry the piece is then waxed for a permanent finish. The hands are brass plated steel.

About this Artist

Mary Ann Owen and Malcolm Owen

"Folks always comment that we must have fun making our work. What's your guess?!"

Malcolm and Mary Ann Owen are a husband and wife team who own and operate Winged Camel Metalworks, a small studio located in the northern foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. Most of their work is collaborative, but each partner also makes one of a kind pieces. Mary Ann makes jewelry and small sculptures, Malcolm creates large sculptural and decorative work.

The couple use a hands-on collage method to explore themes. The small silver figures lend a sense of action and intimacy to the work. The Owens fabricate their pieces from copper, brass and sterling silver using tried and true hand forming methods. Many of the hammers and stakes that are used daily were made by Malcolm. The small figures are cast in the studio using the lost wax process.

Mary Ann and Malcolm Owen met while studying in the art metals program at SUNY Oswego. Malcolm had a degree in philosophy and was a self taught blacksmith. They soon formed a partnership making small silver holloware and flatware. They progressed to using copper as a primary material and have been exploring the possibilities ever since.
