The Autumn Equinox marks the first day of Autumn.
It’s also known as the pagan festival of Mabon – celebrated when day and night are in principle, of equal duration.
It’s possibly a moment to recognise a sense of balance and to recognise the change of season which is marked by shorter day length, a changing landscape and the approach of winter.

This provocation involved an element of serendipity; some navigation; a walk of indeterminate length; some observations and responses and a bit of determination. Date: Summer solstice: from Thursday 20th June The Walk The walk started and finished at a location of the artist’s choosing. It was as long or as short as the artist determined - it might have been from sunrise and last all day until sunset or alternatively it could have lasted but a few minutes.
