Last Punch of the Clock

GARNER, David

David Garner is known for his installation works of found objects which carry deep social and political resonance. Last Punch of the Clock takes the form of a clocking-in machine from a metal-working factory, where workers would clock in and out of their shift. Next to the machine stands a tall metal spike supporting a stack of the punch-hole cards, representing a lifetime of work.

The installation is a lament to the lost industry in south Wales and a tribute to the working life of his late father.
