'Clock Babe' is a 4' x 4' analogue painting by me, Susan Puttock, which reimagines a small section of a fourteenth century mural painting " The Massacre of the Innocents" (first version) by the Italian artist Giotto. This section embodies an optical illusion of two young women with a baby. With its emphasis on time travel, steampunk impressed me as an exciting and appropriate framework for turning it into a contemporary image - a chance to put the shared ingredients of optics and steampunk together, especially ambiguities of time, space, place and narrative.
