Artist description:
This clock was made as a housewarming gift for artist-designer Gino Perez. Gino, who is straight, is one of the artist’s closest friends. D’Elia has noticed through their years of friendship that Gino is rarely “on time” for anything. As such, the clock timepiece is seen exploded out of the clock. In it’s place is a chalkware beaver bookend acknowledging that regardless of the time of day, sex is almost always on a man’s mind.
