Sculptor Robinson explores the thinking of Italian Renaissance philosopher Camillo, who used visual signs to express his message, and understood that there is an important relationship between the image and memory. Besides the whirlpool and Camillo, she considers fame with tongue, the 1499 fiction Hyperotomachia Poliphili, revealing Venus, and divining stars.
