The Surface of the Moon
by Steve Roden's site {and blog}
'The Surface of the Moon' was inspired by a list of «craters, mountains, and other objects» on the moon from a turn of the century map in an astronomy book called Celestial Objects for common Telescopes, by Thomas William Webb that was published for the first time in 1859.
The number of objects (sculptures) that make up the work is 490 - the same number of land formations on the list - all that were known to exist around 1910.
