EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 18th century, showcasing an antique illustration of the octant invented by John Hadley. The retro styling and engraved image exude a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of a time when this mathematical instrument was at its peak. Once an essential tool for sailors navigating the vast seas, the octant allowed them to measure angles and determine their direction with precision. The reflection on the reflector adds an intriguing element to this artwork, as it symbolizes both scientific innovation and introspection. As we gaze upon this piece, we can almost imagine ourselves standing in a bustling town square where mathematicians would gather to discuss their latest discoveries. Though now considered obsolete due to advancements in technology, this engraving serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge. It reminds us that even in simpler times, scientists like John Hadley were pushing boundaries and revolutionizing their fields. Nastasic's meticulous attention to detail brings out every intricate line and curve in this image created during the 19th century but depicting an invention from the previous century. This vertical composition captures not only the beauty of this work tool but also pays homage to its historical significance within science and navigation. In summary, Nastasic's print transports us back in time through its retro style while celebrating both scientific progress and our rich cultural heritage.
