The Thousands

Clocks used to be so boring. Especially the dusty ones on the wall at school, with their big off-white faces and black numbers, loaded with budget batteries that left the clocks permanently conked out at 11.37. But there was no fooling those teachers by pointing at the time and insisting class was over: those cunning witches wore wristwatches!

It’s time to put the bad clock memories behind you, because now people are doing all sorts of things with clocks, like projecting them onto walls or making digits appear from inside blocks. There’s even a lady called Fleur Harris whose making clocks out of wooden Jesus! And wooden Mary‘s. And also, skeleton skulls.

Fleur Harris is one super skilled (and rather pretty!) lady whose only just starting making these amazing clock creations – her usual gig is real cute illustrations for clients like Poketo wallets, The Berlin Zoo, Monster Children and IDN magazine. But so far, so good – Jesus has had heaps of experience getting things stuck in him, what with that whole nail business and all. So for him, two lightweight clock hands is a breeze. Mary is a little less amped about the whole thing, but she’s really impressed with how great her cheekbones look in laser-cut form. And the best thing about Jesus-as-a-clock is that when the batteries go dead, he just resurrects them.
