INTRODUCTION :

‘Imbolc’ is the fourth in an evolving series of Anima Mundi online mixed exhibitions following this rhythm of the seasons, known as ‘the wheel of the year’. This ‘calendar’ provides a cue for the duration of each show, and inevitably flavours the selection of works presented.

In many traditions, time is considered to be cyclical rather than straight line. Perceived as a perpetual cycle of growth and retreat tied to the Sun’s annual death and rebirth. This cycle is also viewed as a micro and macrocosm of broader life cycles in an immeasurable series of rotations composing the Universe. The days that fall on the landmarks of the yearly cycle traditionally mark the beginnings and middle-points of the four seasons.

The exhibition includes artworks by (in alphabetical order) :

Simon Averill, Gabrielle K Brown, Christina Bothwell, Alice Ellis Bray, Dorcas Casey, Mat Chivers, Kate Clark, Cameron Clarke, Judith Nangala Crispin, Phoebe Cummings, Luke Frost, Miles Cleveland Goodwin, Luke Hannam, Marcelle Hanselaar, Rebecca Harper, Simon Hitchens, Henry Hussey, Sax Impey, Arthur Lanyon, Andrew Litten, Sam Lock, Jamie Mills, Barbara Neil, Richard Nott, David Quinn, Jonathan Michael Ray, Tim Shaw, Katie Sims, Jesse Leroy Smith, Roger Thorp, Groter Walpius, Kate Walters, David Kim Whittaker, Evelyn Williams, Amy Gillian Wilson, Faye Eleanor Woods, Joy Wolfenden Brown and Carlos Zapata.

ONLINE CATALOGUE :

“Everything is gestation and bringing forth. To let each impression and each germ of feeling come to completion wholly in itself, in the dark, in the inexpressible, the unconscious, beyond the reach of one’s own intelligence, and await with deep humility and patience the birth hour of a new clarity”

— Rainer Maria Rilke
