Tzolk’in is a sculpture in two parts commissioned by Clockshop the Hammer Museum as part of the Made in L.A. 2018 biennial. Inspired by the ancient Maya 260-day calendar for agriculture, the gears in this sculpture follow a hypocycloid motion, marking time through a movement that is at once circular and linear. Beatriz Cortez, Tzolk'in I, 2018. Steel, motor, battery, timer, solar panel, acrylic, and lacquer marker. 132 x 64.5 x 64.5 inches. Commissioned by Clockshop.
