Paper: Hahnemuehle Fine Art Baryta.
Camera: Sony A7R series (Digital).
Handling Remarks: This print may have small ink marks at the corners. This occurs during the printing process due to particular qualities in paper thickness and paper curvature. These marks are left as they fall and seen as the influence of external forces that exert themselves on the creative process. They are the qualities of life, that require all things to retain a certain unpredictability, and individuality beyond the intentions of mind and mechanical process.

Extended Description.
As a child my grandmother told me, “Ancient people believed the stars were gods, who lived in the universe. Even the moon and our own planet are gods”.
“Gods”, I said. “The whole planet?”
“Well, she’s a she, so a goddess actually.”
“But, how can the earth be alive if I can’t see her?”, I replied?
“Well not everything that is alive looks like a human. Think of your cat, she’s alive isn’t she?” I ponder on my nanna’s logic for a moment, trying to make sense of it in my child mind.
“Better yet, think of rocks, or rivers, the stars and planets, even the entire universe”. She continues,
“Child, you need to see life in a different way, in a more transcendent way.”
I pretend knowledge for a moment, then my curiosity gets the better of me and I ask, “ ‘Transcendent’, what does that mean?”
She thinks for a moment, then responds, “To see beyond what your eyes show you. To see life, in all of existence”.
…
Is it a conscious entity in the gigantic form of a mass of matter floating through the cosmos? Or maybe it’s just a rock? One of these propositions is certainly closer to the truth than the other…
The Turning of the Eclipse is a deeply symbolic and powerful moment in the revealing of cosmic law. Half light, half dark; night and day; sleep and awake; life and death; aware and unaware. What one do we choose, and in what direction is the energy of our choices moving us? Into the dark? Into the light?
