In
my complete obsession with astronomy and the mystery of the night
sky, I went to the local observatory once a week for the better
part of 1998. Each time the roof moved to accommodate the telescope's
change in direction, I marveled at the pie slice of orbiting sky
so much that I wanted to translate that feeling into small sculpture.
The result was this style of ring, whereby the dome rotates, revealing
only a section of the stone with each turn.
