The result is The Analemma Waltz, a celebration of the sun's slow-motion dance through his house, facilitated, in part, by its surfeit of windows, but much more so by the analemma-the narrow figure-eight pattern the sun describes in the sky in the course of a year in the Earth's orbital journey. Vincent's habit of noting and minuting the changing positions of sunlight, day by day and week by week, was the catalyst for meditations on matters of universal concern, as suggested by the times and the seasons of the year and approached, not from the perspective of a scholar or academic, but from that of an interested layperson.
