Steampunk inspired orrery as aCelestial art sculpture





2 April 2012

The latest from the atelier.  Time waits for no man (nor woman) with this steampunk inspired solar orrery.  It is mounted on a four inch wooden square with each of the twelve zodiac signs cast in brass meticulously embedded.  Each planet sits atop its own clock works gear and powered by a battery operated quartz movement orbits the sun once an hour.
