"The SunDial:NightWatch" series began in 2010 and consists of large Jacquard tapestries derived from Actiwatch recordings of Susan Morris’s fluctuating sleep/wake patterns as well as her exposure to light; many of these are taken over long time periods of up to five years. In this series, the Jacquard loom becomes a device for making automatic drawings, with each minute directly translated into coloured thread. The tapestries look surprisingly like something in the natural world: for example, the low levels of activity recorded at night, which go down the centre of the tapestry, resemble a night sky or a dark river or canyon in the middle of a landscape.
