\"\"Kate Pond is part of Exposed 2011. She lives in Burlington, Vermont.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tidings is a sundial\/sculpture that delineates three paths of the sun during the course of a year. Illustrating the cyclical nature of our earth\u2019s movement around the sun, the shadow cast from the ball onto the gnomon (the straight length of pipe leading to the circle) traces the path of the sun throughout the days of the equinoxes, and the summer and winter solstices. The sphere on the gnomon casts a shadow following the curve during the week around summer solstice. The ball casts a shadow marking the equinox on the straight crosspiece, and the winter solstice on the curve farthest from the gnomon. In addition to the seasonal time, there are subtle marks on the summer-solstice curve nearest to the gnomon for hourly time. <\/em><\/p>\n

Tidings is made of 1\u201d steel pipe and the circle is 22\u201d in diameter. It is 5-\u00bd feet tall so that viewers can easily see the shadows. The black granite base weighs approximately 375 pounds.<\/em><\/p>\n

Much of my work is site specific \u2013 that is, each piece is designed for a specific latitude or to be placed on a specific piece of land. This sundial is made to be sited at plus or minus 44 degrees latitude north. The dial will be fairly accurate in all of Vermont, and could be tilted for latitudes above and below 44 degrees. <\/em>Tidings comes from the Old English word <\/em>tid which means hour. The ebb and flow of the shadow of the dial from solstice to solstice is reminiscent of the tidal flow of the sea.<\/em><\/p>\n

Growing up in the hills of Vermont, Kate Pond\u2019s first sculptures were of cattle bones, clay or fallen branches found in the woods near home. She now works exclusively in steel. Her sculptures invite participation: with people, with sun, shadows and alignments at different seasons of the year. The position of the sun, moon and stars creates a structure, like a painter might use a rectangle as a frame of reference. Pond\u2019s recent public work includes Come Light, Visit Me<\/em> at Champlain College in Burlington, and Wellspring<\/em> at the Heller School at Brandeis University near Boston.<\/p>\n
