A Spell on the Equinox. VERSION 1.

This is the plan for a wall drawing which was made in situ on my behalf at St.Pauls Gallery, Auckland, NZ.. The wall drawing itself is graphite pencil on White Emulsion. Dimensions Variable but circle width is 2m approx. As is often the case with my work, it's practically impossible to document, due to the faintness of the pencil lines on large walls. In reality, the pencil is actually quite easy to see, but simply impossible to capture on camera. I don't know why I have to make things so difficult for myself! The exhibition was curated by Chris Braddock, Eamon Edmundson-Wells and Ziggy Lever for St.Pauls Gallery, Auckland, NZ. and entitled "Equinox_1:03PM NZST_23-9-22". The exhibition invited a number of artists to consider the equinox which took place at the opening event of the show. I made the work while thinking around a number of reflections on the equinox, about the miraculous nature of time, the Russian Cosmists, Space, Mirroring, the Hemispheres, the movement of the sun and earth and cosmogony alongside the very specific texture and materiality of making and speaking languages. As a result, like much of my work, it exists somewhere between an incantation and meaninglessness, in other words, quite life-like.
