We are super excited to announce our Spring Equinox group show OPEN CALL:
Wheel of Fate and Sett Studios presents: ANTICIPATION
'Here in the North of the Earth, the Spring Equinox is a time of sown things. Although days grow longer, nature still lies dormant as the hum of activity underneath the surface of the Earth waits to burst out into the open air. It is a time of anticipation, of potential. The wheel of the year is swinging upwards, but it has not quite reached the northern hemisphere yet. We know the direction we are going, but we are yet to know what will emerge when we pass the next threshold. This is a time of resurrection. Historically, it has been a time to celebrate Attis and Jesus who were both sacrificed and resurrected at this time of year: Attis’s transformation marked by Phrygian priests’ self-castration, and Jesus’ by the symbol of eggs and new life. This is a reminder that new life is a resurrection of the end of the cycle that has gone before. These are the last moments of the ethereal before materialisation. The end of an internal journey: the penultimate moment before the creature emerges from its solitude and is witnessed out in the plains of the wider world.'
