Battered Moonlight

George W. Hart


Battered Moonlight is made from paper mache over steel (painted in white acrylic/latex), approximately 21 inches across. If you like, you can think of it as an 11-holed, 6-edged, 1-sided surface, with chiral icosahedral symmetry. 



The light and shadow constantly change as it slowly rotates.




The steel (hardware cloth) framework, before I applied the paper mache, looked like this.



(I looked different back then, too.)

The title comes from a poem by Elizabeth Bishop, The Man-Moth.
