| Longyearbyen dial is the world's most northerly sundial on the island of Spitsbergen at 78° 13' north. It was commissioned by Miss Louise Rigozzi of Tasmania who was responsible for most of the visual/aesthetic design elements. My job was to turn her ideas into a design for a working 24 hour sundial and make the final product from laser-cut components in stainless steel. Final alignment was achieved on the first day of sunshine after the winter of eternal night. |
