Carl & Rose (Suzanne Carlsen and Noah Rosen) | Big Ben on Dundas
Location: Comelight Glass & Mirror, 871 Dundas St. W.
Carl & Rose is the creative company of Noah Rosen and Suzanne Carlsen. Both are artists in their own right: Noah is a ceramicist and the man behind Velocolour and Suzanne is an award-winning craftsperson/designer with talents across many media. Together they produce installations, objects and functional items based on their unique vision. Playful, colourful and made with care, Carl and Rose creations infuse every environment with a little extra joy.
Big Ben on Dundas utilizes Rosen’s expertise in fabrication and surface treatment and Carlsen’s experience with pattern and digital technologies to create an oversized wall-hanging clock, paying homage to the analogue time piece. Since digital devices surround us at all times, the out-of-date clock and wristwatch exist as fetishized objects of the past; as the laser-cut hands of the clock tick forward, its face will reference the past with a custom-painted surface pattern, inspired by local, iconic architectural details and historic imagery borrowed from early time pieces. (Aluminum or steel, automotive paint, laser cut brass or stainless hands and clock parts)
