Sundial: Marking time - This project was an experiment to capture the sun's path by way of a homemade sundial. Every 30 minutes, beginning early in the morning, the outline of the shadow was traced onto the paper. The final mark was made around 7:45pm -- as the sun dipped below the tree line. The final result (middle image) revealed a geometric pattern resembling a traditional rendering of the sun's rays.
