Measurement and repetition are at the core of this visually complex work. The composition is bisected by a pendulum, a device typically found in a clock to regulate movement. To its left a different pendulum hangs from a cross in the sky, designed by the physicist, Leon Foucault. This one marks the rotation of the earth on the black disc below.
The background is a mash of medieval landscapes with direct reference to paintings by Piero della Francesca, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Breughel the Elder.
Framed in a light wood box frame and glazed.
