Aeolian Landscape

Swirling sand evokes a desert landscape.

Where:   Fisher Bay Observatory Gallery 6, Mezzanine
Exhibit Developer:   Artist Ned Kahn, 1988

Aeolian Landscape presents a swirling storm of sand inside a large chamber covered by a plexiglass top. A knob on the top of the exhibit rotates a sturdy fan set in the base of the chamber. As you turn the fan, the sand inside begins to swirl and accumulate in patterns suggestive of a desert landscape as if seen from high above.
