*** COSMIC RESONANCE ***We live in a modern world no longer guided by the planets and stars.
Most of us are guided by the artificial lights and sounds of our devices, streetlights and lamps. Short sighted we no longer have eyes and ears for the sparkling lights, immense depth and complexity of the Universe. Living in the small community of Daajing Giids on Haida Gwaii, we are blessed we can still find places away from streetlights to take in the lights of the stars and planets. That is, if the clouds don't obscure our vision! We live in a temperate rainforest after all Local artists Erin Harris and Kiki van der Heiden invite you to join them at Earth Temple to learn more about their work, inspired by the movement, forms, lights and sounds of the Cosmic and Earthly Waters *** Moving Art Installation ***The space of Earth Temple is aligned with the four directions, West, North, East and South.
Each wall represents a section of the Cosmic sky. The coming weeks and months, the art installation follows the movements of planets and comets through Time and Space. Kiki created woven (colour coded) Silk Spheres to represent the planets as they move through time and space. These spheres will dance, jump and leap through the space each week, depending on the movement of the respective planet.
Erin's pieces represent parts of the Milky Way River. She created an intricate Fibre Comet to represent the movement of the Comet C/2023 A3 Tsuchinshan-Atlas, also known as 'The Great Comet' of 2024. According to NASA, this comet made its closest transit past the Sun on September 27, 2024 and came within approximately 70 million kilometres (44 million miles) of Earth on October 12 2024. It is now getting ready to merge within the Cosmic waters of the Milky Way. Meet the Artists:
