This is a beautiful site from KronosWorks..., and really beautiful clocks, too. At his mountain studio surrounded by the natural beauty of Taos, New Mexico, artist Bob Rickard enjoys challenging the immutable properties of metal. He indulges his love of geometry, movement and color as he strives to stretch the use of industrial tools beyond what they were designed to accomplish. His aesthetic vision is also influenced by the aspects of nature that surround his studio, which gives his work a sense of quiet beauty and calmness. Rickard uses a hand held plasma cutter to carve his designs into aluminum. He then coats the aluminum with other metals, typically copper, bronze and iron. Each of these metals reacts differently to the chemical patinas and dye oxides with which he finishes his pieces. The synergy
of these techniques brings forth work that is striking in its complexity and beauty.
