Andrea Greenlees
Andrea Greenlees is a London-based multi-faceted artist and designer creating a wide range of artwork in a variety of media and materials, specializing in large-scale installations for public spaces.
The End of Time was created for Burning Man 2024, for which the theme was 'Curiouser and Curiouser', inspired by the story of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This tale of the absurd and the nonsensical is a magical invitation to an artist and I found this year's theme impossible to resist. Once again I collaborated with master steelworker, fellow artist and engineer, Andy Tibbetts, @lostmachineandy, to create it, at the fantastic facility that is The Generator in Reno, NV.
The End of Time is a dying clock, in fact it is a murdered clock. As a consequence, Time has stopped and now it will forever be Teatime. This artwork illustrates the death of one clock, which will result in the death of all clocks and therefore Time itself. It does so in a whimsical manner designed to disturb but entertain at the same time.
