After working with card. I decided that i need to use a stronger material to help recreate the movement of the cogs. I am working with several different materials. the first is wire.

While the wire cogs look great there still not strong enough to use in a sculptural piece. They are a successful exercise in observation and work brillinatly as a "drawing" of the cogs.

These cogs are made from a light flexible plastic (a copy cover) and I used wire to connect them together. I think the plastic is a really effective material to work with. It allows you to make the teeth of the cog really precise and fit together well. I think if i replace the wire with plastic this would work well.

I have been working on observing and recreating parts of the clock that I find interesting and that work well together. I've been lookin at how the different cogs interlink with each other and how the move together.

 I want to recreate the way these parts link together. I've start working with paper and card folding it into shapes and gettin them to fit together like the cogs.

  After creating several cogs using this card I've decided it is not the most suitable material to work with as it is not strong enough to recreate the movement of the cogs.
