In order for a sundial’s timekeeping to be accurate year round, the needle’s angle must exactly match the latitude of the location of the sundial, tying its ability to function properly to one specific place.
The needle’s angle and location is “calibrated” to my hometown (40.5°), as well as using the same wood species as my backyard trees. The classic picket fence became the inspiration for my frame, as a reminder of suburbia, and the people and homes I grew up around.
