The blob before you is a fully-functional grandfather clock adorned with myriad toys and other childhood play things that were bonded together and coated in white polyurethane. It measures a whopping 7.2-feet tall, and was designed on commission for a person in Dubai by Irish artist, Ryan McElhinney.

In addition to the Westminster Chiming Grandfather Clock, which chimes every 15 seconds, McElhinney gives a similar treatment to lamps and mirrors. Photos of those–as well as more clock shots–can be found below. [Courtesy of Deezen via Gizmodo]
