Clothespin Elevations
1972–1974

A pencil drawing of a long, slender pendulum clock design on a beige paper. The drawing is very minimalistic, showing the front view on the left with geometric shapes forming the pendulum and clock face, and a side view on the right with simple lines representing the clock's depth. The artist's signature is at the bottom right corner.
