"The artist found his design precedent in the ancient astronomical architectural forms of Janta Mantar in Jaipur, India. Like Janta Mantar, this sculptural form frames space and implies an orientation to the stars. Within the open arms of the sculpture is a section of the night sky illustrated by imbeds of cast glass. These mirrored glass inlays are imbedded into the iron like form of the sculpture yet reflect the sky. As such they respond to the ever changing light of its environment: the time of day, the seasons and even the slightest light of the night sky. The sculpture is of the earth, and of the sky. In it, they have come together."
