Design Objective
Memorial and Garden
Materials
Stainless steel, manipulated NSG Pilkington Mirropane, native plants
The 9+ foot tall glass and stainless steel sculpture is the gnomon, or shadow-casting element, of what will be a sundial. Two due-North facing identical KEPLER TRIANGLES seem to float above grade at the precise angle of the site's latitude (41.4°). The Kepler triangle has sides in a geometric progression of the Golden Ratio PHI. The 8 framed glass Kepler Triangles mimic the color of the sky, and have an extraterrestrial texture. The color and texture changes as the viewer's perspective changes.
The sculpture is Phase 1, and Adam will work with the Park's horticulturist to design a 40 foot diameter naturalistic planting to be completed in 2023. Basalt and Obsidian boulders will mark the hours, and noon on the Solstices and Equinox.
The sculpture is dedicated to the late Judy Knox, an activist and community leader.
