"El Tiempo Vuela"

Tim Chalk

Entered into the 2025 Design Awards

Commissioned for a private garden. A sculptural relief carved panel with a vertical sundial, depicting a crow in flight, reflecting the carved inscription; "El Tiempo Vuela" ("Time Flies"). The shelf below the panel is hollowed out to form a birdbath.

Tim says: "Carved directly into a stone panel (seen here coated in clay to make the tracing of the design easier to follow). On completion of the carving the bronze hour markers and gnomon were added along with the birdbath shelf before installation on site."
