This piece explores Alison Berger's ongoing interest in creating contemporary forms from historical and scientific apparatuses. It is inspired from a 16th century hand held astrolabe device that was used to chart the stars along nautical pathways. The device is reinterpreted, increased to a sculptural scale for a site-specific location.
Bronze, optical lenses, hand etched sheet glass.
A series of five concentric rings, ranging in size from 2'Dia. to 7'6"Dia.
