on the equinox

Back in 2022 I did a wall drawing which was made in situ on my behalf at St.Pauls Gallery, Auckland, NZ.. The wall drawing itself was graphite pencil on White Emulsion. Dimensions Variable but circle width is around 2m approx. As is often the case with my work, it was practically impossible to document, due to the faintness of the pencil lines on large walls. 

I made the original  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.  I have reworked the piece as an artefact here but like its predecessor it exists somewhere between an incantation and utter meaninglessness, in other words, perhaps somewhat life-like.
