While I was in prison, many opportunities to work in the woodshop seemed to lead to basic designs which other prisoners had developed with limited access to resources.

I also have a penchant for how to include secret compartments for squirreling away some of lifes finer things.

This clock is one of my more extreme adventures in mixed media and with positive and negative space.
