At the Equinox


Success Art Space, Fremantle
February, 2016

At the Equinox explores our markers of perception within landscape, using the Arctic Circle and the equinox as two perceptual indicators of space and time.

The Arctic Circle is a border defined by our perception of the sun. While it is depicted definitively on a map, on the ground this line becomes uncertain. The equinox is the fleeting tipping point between the extremes of light and dark of the summer and winter solstices. Two figures attempt to configure a line across the landscape by ‘trapping’ a precarious space between a camera and its reflection in a mirror.
