The clock I chose for this task was my old and trusty New Zealand Silver Fern travel clock. It has served me well and faithfully in a number of countries and situations over the years, but the time had come for a parting of ways...

Still - Given that this clock was an old retainer I decided that it would be inpolite to smash it in a showy and overdone manner. Instead I decided to slowly and carefully seperate it into it's composite parts.

It was actually a rather intimate experience. Rather like the careful and precise flaying and eviceration of a small yet perfectly formed animal. Almost a chronocropsy of sorts... Yet it had to be done.

Afterwards, looking at all of the perfectly formed pieces, I decided that rather than waste them, they should be made into a hanging mobile. The results were quite pleasing.
