"Tick Tock" features a classic metronome poised atop a pillow of matches, with a single lit match seemingly writing the words “tick-tock” in midair. Surrounding the metronome, each match is meticulously drawn, showing a testament to Fraser’s extraordinary attention to detail. The painting continues his tradition of transforming ordinary objects into layered metaphors on time, mortality, and the nature of existence. Referencing the tradition of Golden Age Dutch painters, "Tick Tock" provides a great example of his use of historical symbolism with a contemporary context.
