Roger Wood's latest steampunk assemblage clock

My pal Roger Wood is a mad assemblage sculptor in Toronto who makes gorgeous steampunky kinetic clocks. Every day or two, he sends out a "newsletter" to his friends with a picture of his latest — check this one out.

Roger Wood, the mad clockman, profiled in the Toronto Star

My pal and former neighbor Roger Wood, the mad assemblage clock-sculptor, got a swell and well-deserved notice in the Toronto Star last week. Roger's clocks are quite possibly my favorite objects in the world.


But it's the overwhelming number of storage containers, loosely labelled and filled with the items he uses for his fanciful designs that makes the jaw drop: picture lamp bulbs, lamp parts, wooden balls, drawer pulls, buttons, clock springs, gears and faces, dials, jewellery, candlesticks, shoemaker moulds, picture frames, musical instrument parts, vacuum tubes from old radios, gas lamp parts, typewriter keys, bottle caps, old gauges, camera lenses and nameplates.

Roger Wood wall-clock

My friend Roger Wood is a genius clockmaker who builds clocks into assemblage sculptures made from found objects, antiques, rust, and vacuum tubes. He publishes an irregular newsletter showcasing his latest creations, such as this one, which is similar to one that I bought from him before I moved to London, which was the first piece of decor I put up in my new flat after moving in. — Read the rest
