Annular Eclipse

Maybe they’re rings or hoops to you. Or wheels. Or a bubble wand. By George Rickey’s title, they might appear as celestial objects moving in and out of each other’s way to cause occlusion. Pumbaa always thought they were balls of gas burning billions of miles away. I look at this piece and am reminded of fire poi spinners and certain forms of traditional Korean dance. Also the brain teaser where you hold your index fingers in front of you tip to tip (palms facing you) and continually draw one in a clockwise circle (clockwise from side view) and the other in a counterclockwise circle. Try it next time you visit this artwork.
