Selections from the series Café Gnomonics
16x22in or 22x16in
Digital prints, acrylic
In Café Gnomonics, the movement of shadows is recorded at regular intervals: by day over lunch in Rome, London, Sichuan and Sydney, coffee in Berlin, brunch in Shanghai and drinks in Seattle – and by moonlight in Shenzhen and Grand Coulee. (Gnomonics is the art or science of constructing sundials; the gnomon is the shadow caster by which time is indicated). The artist brings her own tablecloths.
