{"product_id":"exc-schoe-glen-00001","title":"Clock Tower of Philly Row, 2026","description":"\u003cp\u003e  My process started by carefully selecting components from the Bling Bucket. My objective was to choose pieces that could be disassembled, allowing me to creatively repurpose the individual components. I aimed to reflect a personal aesthetic that aligns with steampunk, industrial design, and vintage motifs. When I came across various watches, I was immediately inspired to incorporate them into a clock tower structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  This piece was influenced by Laurent Chehere's work, particularly his Flying Houses series, where he combines elements from real buildings to create surrealistic representations. Embracing a similar methodology, I began conceptualizing a clock tower, drawing inspiration from the architectural characteristics of historic row houses in Philadelphia, known for their multiple-peak roofs, textured surfaces, and distinct decorative details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  An essential aspect of my artistic practice has been incorporating light into my sculptures over the past few years. This additional element not only transforms the artwork's aesthetics and ambiance but also allows it to function as furniture. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  My principal aim was to completely transform the bling into structural architectural elements. Throughout the process, I meticulously considered the piece's structural integrity, striving for durability and sturdiness—essential qualities for artwork intended for tactile engagement and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glenda Schoepp-Drake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53832855519524,"sku":"EXC-SCHOE-GLEN-00001","price":450.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0797\/5508\/4068\/files\/FINAL_01_Schoepp-Drake_Glenda_ClockTowerofPhillyRow_1.jpg?v=1778188381","url":"https:\/\/www.shopalbertacraft.com\/products\/exc-schoe-glen-00001","provider":"Alberta Craft Council","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
