GASSHO 2. 2019. 12'6" h x 37' x 49' . Steel and stone.
At Sky's The Limit Observatory and Nature Park, in Twentynine Palms, CA.
GASSHO 2 is in large part the same as GASSHO . A pyramid of local stones, arranged between the three legs of the sculpture, embodies the way gravity turns mountains to stones and then sand, which eventually compresses and becomes rock again, and rises up in the form of mountains -- time is simultaneously cyclical and linear. In the photo directly below the shadow of the gnomon crosses a square marker on the diagonal, indicating that it is 4pm.
