Liquid Time sculptures for Museums are the world's only sculptures which accurately display the message of time through the peaceful and hypnotizing motion of water. Sculptures are at once artistic and functional, and come in sizes ranging from feet to 40 feet.

| Based on technology originated by such ancient cultures as the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans & Egyptians, the Liquid Time water clocks are a highly scientific and artistic synthesis of precisely sculpted glass vessels, colorized water, and an engine called "gravity".
Driven mostly by the gravitational movement of the water, the Liquid Time sculptures display the message of time by allowing fluids to slowly channel themselves through an intricate maze of transparent glass, hand-sculpted pipes, vessels and chambers. The movement of these bodies of water triggers powerful suctions and pressures, which in turn control other pre-measured bodies of water to make their way into two vertical columns which account for the display of hours and minutes. At the stroke of 12, the entire clock automatically empties itself out through a natural siphoning effect, and the cycle repeats itself. A series of sensors and electrical pumps are used to keep the upper reservoir of the Clock constantly replenished, essentially making the Clock nearly maintenance free, save for an occasional replenishment of evaporated water, once a month or so. The Liquid Time is a marvel of hydraulic engineering and hand-sculpted glass art. The Sculptures are hand made by a physicist member of the International Robotics alliance of inventors scientists, engineers, techno-artists and roboticists. The Liquid Time sculptures can me ceiling or floor mounted, enclosed in glass cages for outdoor use, or fully exposed.
