I like this: Todd McLellan disassembled

Todd McLellan makes disassembled work - his website is http://www.toddmclellan.com/. 

Reasons I like this:

• It makes all the elements of the assembly stoundout. Sometimes it can be hard to see something - taking it apart helps you to see it
• It makes each element seem precious .... more precious somehow than the clock on its own!
• It shows up the craftsmanship and seems to highlight how objects are the sum of the efforts of many people over time, striving for 'better'. We all stand on the shoulders of others....we can aim to be a good shoulder to stand on too.
• Many people have produced many new things - we are all inventors and our inventions and their history are embodied in the everyday objects around us.
• Wood, metal, glass - where has each piece of material come from? who's handled it? who put it all together?
