Eco Arts: Artist creates cow sculpture from recycled watches and clocks

Eco Factor: Sculpture made from recycled watches and clocks.

Artist Michael Roberts does something with old watches and clocks none of us would have ever thought of before. No, he doesn’t make them workable again and he doesn’t even throw them in the landfill. He collects them and creates a sculpture out of it. The cow sculpture shown above is known as Pasture Bedtime and is created from 2000 watches and clocks. The sculpture has been sold in an auction for $11,500, and a part of the earnings have been donated to American Family Children’s Hospital.

The Dark Side:

The sculpture’s cost is something that leave many jaws locked. But considering that it’s an artwork, the cow doesn’t seem expensive for those who love cattle but don’t want to get messy by owning a real one.

Holy cow! Apparently my first comment was not well received. So I should post a quasi positive comment to fit in with everyone else? I’m an artist too, with an appreciation for all kinds of art. This clock just didn’t quite do it for me. Maybe because its billed as a ”clock.” We all have our opinions. Mine was just different.
