A Black Country Vaguery 2015 (Sedgley Beacon Tower)

PENDULUM

‘Pendulum’ 2015. Part of the Black Country Vaguery Series. 150cm x 60cm Pencil on Tracing paper

The center of ‘this earth’ is Sedgley Beacon Tower. There is no higher point than this between the beacon itself and the Ural Mountains 2,400 miles away.

The repetition of the zoomed out map is my representation of my ‘world’, space and time.
