Day Eyes (Aphelion)
By

2019
Aphelion marks the point when the sun is furthest from the Earth. The work, commissioned by Spit and Sawdust Skatepark and based in Global Gardens, Cardiff, celebrated the rising of the sun and the quiet stillness of the morning where there is little activity and 'llygaid y dydd' / 'day eyes' / 'daisies' open their eyes. The day included lying down together as the sun came up, sharing daisy tea and its medicinal properties, a walk along Roath brook 'fishing' for ph levels and audio work around 'light' and 'dark' phrases.
