Fish out of Water – Sabbat Releases 2013 – 14

Fish out of Water – Sabbat Releases 2013 – 14, this year long project has come to completion. I have been releasing a sardine painted pebble at each of the eight sabbats. These represent the earth changes of the summer and winter solstices, the equinoxes and the four cross quarters. Often associated with pagan festivals, I acknowledge this history as well as connecting with the moments of change within the earth cycle. This project connects with the earth changes through out the year; the seasons, light and my own connection to Melbourne. It has also encouraged me to work outside of the studio as I have walked with each release – connecting the fish to the place, my body to the environment and also to my home city of Melbourne.
