Clockwork is a queer and non-binary musician and culinary artist based in Indianapolis, Indiana. They are perhaps best known as the lead organizer for the Garfield Park Community Cookbook, a community sourced cookbook for which they create musical underscore. Much of their work is centered on evoking a sense of wonder in the everyday. As well, Clockwork is an oboist utilizing methods of free improv. Clock creates poetically scribed recipes to accompany many musical works, often making soundscapes with food and kitchen equipment, under their project Tuning Forks. When not creating, they have a day job as the Director of Creative Talent + Equitable Practices at Arts for Learning Indiana.
