Polaris 

2014
Wood, MDF, compass, spirit levels, clamps, granite block, coin, string, masking tape


The sculpture is built for the sole purpose of creating a line parallel to the axis of Earth. The angle is constructed at 59.9º (from the latitude of Oslo), pointed to geographic north, and leveled in all directions. It therefore then points to the north star, Polaris, and is parallel to the axis of the planet's rotation.
