Rotating / Axis
.
Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons.
“Earth has seasons because our planet’s axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of 23.5 degrees relative to our orbital plane, that is, the plane of Earth’s orbit around the sun”.*
Rotating / Axis is the turning point to longer nights and shortened days, cooler temperatures, and wintry weather, with shifts in darkness and light.
The work selected from the Furnace archives reflects and meditates on change and opposites. As we move from one season to the next, we are moving through space and time. We change with the seasons.
Join us in taking a moment to celebrate the turning of our planet!
