Brownie Hawkeye Clock

Greg Mason
Brownie Hawkeye Clock 4″ x 8″

Arizona artist Greg Mason is taking recycling to a new level.  40 years as a farmer ingrained in him the need to use, reuse and not throw things away.  His assemblage clocks are influenced by culture and past art movements, but each piece reflects his own creativity.  This clever camera clock is one example.  Photos appear in both the eye-piece and viewfinder.  The crazy zig-zag second hand adds great color and motion to a black and white camera, functioning as a battery operated clock.
