"the Universe is full of the sound of Creation"


I made MUSIC OF THE SPHERES by using a tile from the Alhambra Palace, Granada. I pierced a hole through the centre of the tile and then threaded them onto a ring, in the same way that I made ETERNITY. The sides of the tiles are `s' shaped, and number 7 of Hogarth's `Lines of Grace', see INNOCENCE. They are created by the arcs of 6 circles. I used these tiles also to create PROMETHEUS' HEARTH, and there is a full explanation of the tiles on that page, with drawings.
