“Eclipse” is a frozen moment of cosmic harmony – the perfect alignment of the sun, moon and Earth. The sun, rendered in copper, radiates warmth and light. Suspended inside is the moon, cloaked in a dark patinated copper. Both the sun and moon are generated from NASA 3D scans of the lunar and solar surfaces.

“Eclipse” goes beyond a static representation of cosmic phenomena. Integrated into its design are carefully placed pinholes that project images onto a viewing surface below. As sunlight filters through these pinholes during an eclipse, a mesmerizing array of crescent shapes dance and shift with the changing angles of the sun and moon. Under rare and specific circumstances, this sculpture performs for the viewer, much like the monumental works of ancient cultures.
