In the natural world, the moon follows the sun in a cyclical movement: morning–sunrise, evening–sunset. The concept of the follower is also found in the mechanical realm: a driver (often a cam) and a follower. These celestial and mechanical relationships are captured in the sculpture moon follower where the left disc (the sun disc) drives the right disc (the moon disc) in a cyclical rotation. A timing belt and pulleys are used move the discs in tandem, thus the two discs are held together in a type of orbiting.

Each disk has 16 words which individually are visible through a small window as the disk rotates to reveal the 16 words that come after sun and 16 words that come after moon. Sometimes the words are the same “sunbeam”, “moon beam” or “sunlight,” “moon light” and sometimes the words are positioned in a sequence where they can be paired. For instance – “sundress”, “moonless” become “dress less” when you only read the words in the aperture. “Sun dog”, “moon walk” become “dog walk” – blending humour and play with the temporal aspects of existence.
