Christine M. Vorwerk<br />

Christine M. Vorwerk is a German artist, whose work consists <strong>of</strong> drawings,<br />

abstract paintings, and photography.<br />

The common topic <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> images belonging to <strong>the</strong> cycle “EQUINOX” is that<br />

state in nature when, twice a year, day and night are <strong>of</strong> equal length all<br />

over <strong>the</strong> earth, marking <strong>the</strong> beginning <strong>of</strong> spring and autumn. It is a state in<br />

which all dynamic powers <strong>of</strong> nature appear balanced and stable, referring<br />

to mental and emotional balance: equanimity.<br />

Thus, for example, <strong>the</strong> ram’s horn in EQUINOX <strong>II</strong> alludes to <strong>the</strong> beginning<br />

<strong>of</strong> spring, called first point <strong>of</strong> Aries. At <strong>the</strong> same time <strong>the</strong> influence <strong>of</strong> past<br />

seasons is still present, represented by autumn’s pears and <strong>the</strong> winter<br />

bleakness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> stones.<br />
