Description
Item Description:Encased in a clear 13 cm box, contains 3 separate pieces: miniature book encased in clamshell box, box set including a wheeled metal time machine and green faced clock that mounts on it, and clear round container containing 2 magnets and washer.
The book fits into one of two channels on a wheeled, metal time machine that was custom fabricated for Sobota. A clock mounts to the top of the second channel, and is affixed through the use of two rare-earth magnets. With the clock mounted thus, the clock stops, thereby providing a visual play on the idea of Wells's titular invention. The text is printed on green paper, referencing the Palace of Green Porcelain that the time traveler encounters in the future world of the Morlocks. Bound in grey calfskin with watch parts set into circular niches on both of the covers. Boxes were created for each part of the object, covered with calf skin, hand-decorated paper, metallic paper and silver snakeskin.
