SOLAR ARCADE, 2003
(with Woody Sullivan)
Metal, paint
In winter, the spotlight appears high above.
The projection of light through a huge circular SW facing window between Allen and Suzzallo Libraries was utilized to tell solar time. 4 ellipses (2 of which were partially on the library walls) were marked to indicate the path of the sunspot on the summer solstice (June 21, 2:10-4:30 Pacific Daylight Time).
In the winter, the sunspot appears high above. Inspired by the aperture sundials created by 17th century astronomers in European cathedrals. Temporary installation for Spheres, the 2003 University of Washington Summer ARTS Festival.
