Ive been asked how these fit into the rest of my works which are generally straight forward botanicals. The actual brushed aluminum pinwheel sits in the garden. Its semi-shiny surface reflects all that exists around it. The sky, trees, ground and flowers become areas of color on the smooth metallic surface. I move it to different locations in the garden to capture various elements like the brown ground or bright green leaves or a subtle flower. I also see it as a record of time of day and the seasons, a calendar if you will. Even a thermometer. The intensity of the reflective colors and shadows will change over the course of the year from cool winter grays and blues to spring and summer heat golds and greens.
