Remarks
Permanent sculpture installation created as the first work for the Treasure Island Arts Program. The piece is installed in a location offering a 360-degree panoramic view of San Francisco's bay area as a whole. The giant sundial is a mathematical model that uses shadow-cast markers to precisely indicate the meridian transit during the vernal and autumnal equinoxes within the surrounding plaza.
Overlooking the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and downtown.
The upper section, polished finish in 316 stainless steel, extends skyward.
