Dreams became for him the stuff that life is made of, "the inner happenings that make up the singularity of my life."

...very long, low-frequency waves from the universe never reach terrestrial receivers because they are blocked by the earth's ionosphere, the outer layer of the atmosphere composed of ionized, or charged, molecules and free electrons. These long radio waves convey a great deal of information--about the origin of cosmic rays, magnetic fields in space, the mechanism of solar flares, and radio storms on Jupiter, for example. To record these long waves, Harvard, in cooperation with the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratory, has built and orbited a series of small radio telescopes above the opaque ionosphere...

The sculpture has the suggestion of an outer surface; but inside, everything is movement, with each form challenging every other. Taken literally, the sculpture does have a top and bottom, but esthetically it does not. Since it is in constant motion, its base is gone...
