Here is my "Time" entry for this weeks art explosion contest hosted by @juliakponsford

For this submission it was really important to me to use the wooden clock that I am sitting on. My parents divorced when I was around 3 years old, I don't remember living with my father. When I went to visit over the years though this clock was always sitting on the mantle above the fireplace.
When he passed away in 2012 it was one of the things that I got to keep. For me that particular clock is symbolic of the limited time we have here on earth.
The clock with the wings is sort of playing with the idea that time flies, but also the gesture is to represent time to let go.

Here are the individual pieces I used for this composite.

Clocks and time are a really great theme to work with. There are so many directions that you can go with it. For me taking a personal route seemed like the obvious choice. Can't wait to see what other people came up with for this theme though!
