Description of Piece: Large egg-shaped cage
Artist's Statement: The egg is a symbol of the feminine and the egg cage represents the feminine and traits that we associate with the feminine being suppressed by the culture. These traits are aspects every human possesses to some degree, such as intuition, creativity, nurturance, acceptance of others and acceptance of our whole selves. By reaching in and removing a stone from the egg cage and carrying it throughout the trail, the traveler is developing a deeper knowing of at least one of these qualities within themselves.

Description of Piece: Wall Mounted Sundial
Artist's Statement: Explanation For 7-12 Year Olds: This sundial is hurtling through space at 66,705 miles per hour. By a lucky coincidence the planet Earth and its inhabitants are traveling at the same speed. All I did was make sure they didn’t drift apart with a few screws. Normally, the straight bit on a sundial is called a polos (a type of gnomon) and during the day it casts a shadow on the dial. The vertical plane if the polos/dial is aligned to our local meridian, the great circle connecting the North pole to the South pole via Lyons. The plane of the dial is tilted to our local latitude of 40° 14’. That means that as the Earth revolves, the polos stays parallel to the Earth’s axis of spin. (Still with me). That means that the scale on the dial can be linear, ie equal divisions. The trouble is that the international market price of gnomons and poloses has soared and we couldn’t afford one. So we thought you could use your finger. Insert it into the axial ring, keep it straight and align it with the meridian, but you knew that. The dial indicates what time it is. Explanation For Old People: Stick yer finger in the hole – tell the time! Whoo!

Description of Piece: Large Sundial
Artist's Statement: Long ago, spacefarers from a distant star system across the Milky Way came to a remote red mountain on a quiet planet seeking a pan-dimensional being from whom they sought help. They carried with them standard issue equipment, including instruments made by Intergalactic Heliochronometers, an early instrument company that traded all through the galaxy. This insightful company knew that every planet that orbited a sun anywhere in the universe could tell the time using sundials, possibly the shrewdest marketing strategy ever devised. This Model B is the version suited to solar systems with a yellow dwarf star at the center just like ours. Symbols on the sundial are hard to understand but they seem to suggest that the sundial has passed its standard service interval. Earth engineers did the best job under the circumstances to recalibrate it. Heliochronometer comes from three Greek words, helios, khronos, metron – sun, time, measure. Dial comes from the Latin word dies meaning day.
