Life inside time

Little people living inside time.This interesting collection of adapted watches with miniature figures inside of them is created by Dominic Wilcox (born in  Sunderland, UKfrom, currently living and working in London, UK) an artist, designer and inventor.Each piece of art tells a different story from the “Seated Man” to the “Adventures of a Young Vegetarian.”
Here are few words from Dominic about this little-time-peoples:
“I’ve put tiny figures onto watch hands in order to create mini animated scenes. I had the idea last year during my Speed creating project, but decided it was too good to rush. 8 month later I showed a prototype to Dezeen and they commissioned me to make a collection. The watches use customised model figures and I also made objects, like a miniature looted LCD tv. The glass domes were specially made to fit by Wearside Glass Sculptures in my home town of Sunderland at the National Glass Centre.”
