Eternity’s Sunrise (2013)

This 8-foot tall mobile was commissioned by Cornell University’s Mann Library in memory of a colleague, whose favorite poem was “Eternity” by William Blake (quoted below). The mobile was installed in the library’s Art Deco reading room on the second floor in January 2013.

Eternity
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy.
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
