Jester is intended as a playful piece, to amuse and entertain as well. As the sun tracks through the sky, the play of light and shadows changes. The circles and triangle cutouts allow light and shadows to overlay and intertwine with each other. These patterns change when the circles turn, by nature or by human interaction. The patterns cast by the sun evoke memories of the black and white checkered floors of the king's court, and the juggling rings of the jesters used to entertain them.
