This is a temporary sound based sculpture. As the days start to become longer and the darkness becomes shorter it is important to be aware of this yearly cycle of time and light. The artwork encourages people to take a moment to watch and listen to the alternating sounds of winter and summer cycles.
The work consists of a light wooden pole with screw like groves divided into two sections. Small wooden discs are placed on top of each other at either end of the pole. As the discs fall they create a sound similar to that of a wooden wind chime. As the weight of the discs fall they redistribute the weight to the bottom. Once they reach the bottom the pole rotates and the process starts over. From the centre point of the pole one side is lighter the other side is darker.
The light side of the pole is thinner which causes the discs to fall slower than the dark side this being a symbol of how fast time appears in the summer and how slow time seems to be in the winter.
