Artist Roger Wood : http://klockwerks.com/

Roger Wood :

Roger Wood creates with time in mind. Yet even though the clock can be a consistent element of his work, it’s often secondary to its creation. Whether it’s a curious timepiece or a unique assemblage, Wood thrives on working with an immeasurable array of findings from the tarnished and forgotten to the odd or intriquing. He is a devoted collector of usual and unusual objects with one thing in common, a history. The source of his inspiration lies in the hundreds of curiously labelled drawers and boxes brimming with artifacts of all description that line the shelves of his Toronto studio. Wood orchestrates an arrangement from his myriad of treasures until the precise moment that it feels right. Then he quickly glues them all down so they can’t escape.Playful, wondrous timepieces emerge that take flight on cherubic wings, float and sway on fine wires, or appear frozen mid-explosion with flying springs and cogs that bounce at the touch. This definitive merging of objects and ideas has brought Wood much critical acclaim across Canada. Shows at galleries, museums and awards at several exhibitions are ongoing testaments to his freedom of imagination. Just as his single signature feather at the tip of the second hand quivers magically through time, Roger Wood's creations continue to fascinate.

Artist Daniel Proulx : Catherinette Rings

Daniel Proulx :

Daniel Proulx was born in Montreal and spent a considerable time traveling the world before returning to his artistic roots, becoming an independent artist in 2008. He has found great inspiration in the steam era and now makes Steampunk jewelry with metal wire, gemstones, vintage clock parts and other unusual components. He loves creating organic shapes from wire and developing intricate designs with a mechanical/industrial feel. When Daniel was little he used to daydream about fantastic imaginary worlds. He would draw monsters, invent stories about magical items, or role-play with friends. Now he brings his art to life with stories from a distant parallel Steampunk universe. He uses his creation

s to share his passion for the world of Steampunk with the rest of us .

Steampunk jewelry Artist : Daniel Proulx

2010-01-01T13:37:00.000-08:00

My name is Daniel Proulx from Montreal. I make Wire-wrapped Steampunk Jewelry with brass, copper and gemstones

INSPIRATION:
I always was very interested in fantasy imaginary world such as Dungeon & Dragon, Lord of the Rings and Science fiction. I’m also inspired by the mix of mechanical, organic shapes and contrast between ancient and futuristic designs.

HOW IT BEGAN:
In April of 2008 I started to make rings just for fun after Catherine (My better half) learned how to make simple wire rings during a 2 hour lesson. I just watched how she made it and tried. Since then I spent several hours every day perfecting and developing my own technique to create an original design. I quickly started to make very retro-futurist model of rings. At that time I decided embarked into this adventure, quit my job and try to live on my jewelry full-time.

One day a friend told me what i was doing was Steampunk . I research the subject and fell in love with this culture . I always liked Steampunk but i didn't know there was a name for it . Recently i had the chance to have a short feature of my cyberpunk ring in the fashion Magazine Clindoeil (French) and an article about the steampunk movement and me in the newspaper Le Voir (French). Interview in an article about steampunk in the Ottawa Magazine by Roger Collier .

Recently i made a steampunk Spider Sculpture that was featured in Daily deviation on DeviantArt :

Recently My Steampunk Dungeon and Dragon Sculpture was featured on the popular site BoingBoing.com :

STEAMPUNK EXHIBITION AT OXFORD
I am very honored to have been asked to participate in the first ever steampunk exhibition to be held at a museum. It will be at the University of Oxford in the UK and runs from 13 October 2009 to 21 February 2010.

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me .
I really appreciate all the support you have given me .
It helped me become a successful artist.

Sincerely
Daniel Proulx

Steampunk Madness Ring

Steampunk Jewelry : Rings

The first jewelry i ever made was a ring and for a long time i was selling only rings in my Etsy Boutique ; CatherinetteRings. Originally i used only copper . Then i started to use brass and Sterling silver .

My rings started from the idea that in a steampunk parallel universe , a scientist found a way to channel the various powers locked into gemstones by inventing jewelry using ancient mystical technology . Each stone is linked to a different plane of existence , they are in fact fosilized fragment from these dimensional plane that can be found deep into the earth . Long time ago in a forgotten time these plane were once one with our world but for some mysterious reason they were seperated .

These rings are on Display at the Museum of the History of science @ Oxford UK .

Steampunk Sculpture by Daniel Proulx

When i started to make jewelry , i knew that it was a starting point for something bigger .
So recently i pushed the limit of wire wrapping by making sculpture that would have as much details as my jewelry but on a much larger scale . Here I'm introducing the first few pieces . I plan to widen the collection with uncommon species of insect and deep sea creatures .

Octopus

Rhinoceros Beetle

Cicada

Prayer Mantis on ETSY

Spider

Was displayed at the Museum of the History of Science Oxford UK

Beholder Robot

In my search for more unusual species , i recently discovered Ernst Haeckel. I really like the way he presented his drawings "Artforms of Nature" . Inspired by his work i decided to present my sculpture in a similar fashion . Work in progress .
