From Light to Dark and Back is a work in progress, multi media, interdisciplinary project spanning a year. The 52 weeks of Containing Time have developed into a further durational exploration in the changes of Solar Light at 52 degrees latitude, my studio and home location in Suffolk. Read More
At two week intervals over a year I have documented the angle of sunrise and sunset against the horizon, the change of daylight hours between the summer and winter solstices and the angle of solar noon. I am embodying this data into an installation of ceramics, text, photography, sound and light, collaborating with sound artist Dr Kevin Flanagan.
From Light to Dark and Back represents a further step change for me through the study of astronomical and mathematical data, linking art with science. The twenty four hour light dark cycle is at the core of life on our planet controlling the circadian rhythms of humans, animals and plants known as chronobiology. Research has been partly funded by the Arts Council and British Council.
It will be shown as a major exhibition at Ruthin Centre for the Applied Arts in April 2022
