"Future Clock"

Metal Clock

Created by Malcolm Owen and Mary Ann Owen
One of a Kind
In the future time will be measured by rotary motion. Clocks will be decorated so as to make them less insistent and more intimate. And in the future we will never awaken to the flare of numbers in the night. Nor will our children know the artifice of alarms." (printed tag which is part of the piece.)This is a one of a kind clock and is part of a small series of "future" pieces. The body of the clock is a hand hammered copper disc. The numbers are poppy jasper beads. Individually cast sterling silver figures, brass and copper elements from the activity around the perimeter of the clock. The hands are hand made from brass. The clock runs on a C cell quartz movement which is concealed from side view by a band of copper. The entire piece is colored with a liquid sulfurated potash solution then waxed when it is dry. This produces a permanent finish.

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.
