Ecliptic
The piece
The ecliptic is the line the sun appears to follow through the stars, and the planets keep close to it. Copper silk orbits cross a field of moss and olive wool, mottled like old stone, with a bead of copper here and there for a planet. Shown as a rendering. Woven to order in Jaipur.
