Viewers enter from bottom right corner, with their view at first impeded by the 150' long meandering curtain hanging from the ceiling.

The meandering curtain rod is mounted to the ceiling with steel ball chain hanging down to the curtain top. You can also see that the gallery is viewable from a bird's eye view from above.

This table occupies half of the gallery. It is a replica of a 16th century desert table from the French court of Louis XIV. However, I have distorted one quadrant of the table into a spiral.

The engraving from which the full scale copy was made.

Overhead view from second story window with table mounted with an archipelago of islands and the spiral quadrant.

The viewer can follow the spiral into its center. The center hole is deeper than the surface of the table.

View from within the spiral. The entire table is so large that it is impossible to understand its shape unless viewed from above.

Miniature staircase is a replica of a 19th century model made in the French "compagnonnage" system. My replica is double the original model size. It is made of sugar and centered in the middle of the table's expanse.

View from above looking through the steel beadchain to the table which is like a miniature landscape of island formations.
