Mabon

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.
‘Mabon’ is the first in a 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, albeit not deliberately, fla-
vours the selection of works presented.
