Description
In addition to liking the cable pattern and how it is interrupted by the frayed cable, I think there is a metaphor here about what happens when being wound too tight. Coiled and torn cable is from the clock mechanism from the 1905 Seth Thomas Model 17 clock work for the bell in the Elgin National Watch Factory clock tower. Approximately 70 were made and only about 20 are still known to exist. The complete mechanism is on display at the Elgin History Museum in Elgin, Illinois.
