Portsmouth City Art Project: The Water's Hours and The Sky's Hours, 1973
Scope and Contents
This depicts two adjacent, brown colored, ceramic or concrete, vertical slabs lettered The Water's Hours with levels drawn in blue & denoted with Roman numerals and The Sky's Hours with strokes of a sundial drawn in blue & denoted with Roman numerals, respectively. In Oct 1973, Harvey writes to Finlay with descriptions of proposals for the Portsmith City Art Project, viz., Water's & Sky's Hours and Numbered Sails. Finlay replied within a week with minor modifications prior to their submission into the competition. He adds a note of encouragement to Harvey, "So the question is, who will get the Third Prize (As we have won the First and Second)." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
