Equinox March 2026

This provocation has crept up on me so it’s a little close already

Expressions of interest are invited in response to this provocation.

The Equinox marks the first day of Autumn in the south and of Spring in the north. It falls on Friday 20th March

The Equinox is celebrated when day and night are in principle, of equal duration.

It’s possibly a moment to recognise a sense of balance and the change of season which is marked by changes to day length, a changing landscape and seasonal transition.

This provocation invites your creative response to the seasonal change.
In common with previous challenges, it uses walking and time as a common thread.
You might also choose to look at the concepts of balance: transformation: renewal.

Working individually or with others

While many of us work as individuals, in past provocations, several participants have elected to work collaboratively.
Recently several have expressed an interest to create work with others, either face to face or remotely… which I’m more than happy to facilitate.

If you’d like to work with another artist, please let me know by sending a note to my address below.
I’ll then randomly pair individuals and put you in touch organise your approach – I can promise you a serendipitous experience if nothing else.

Expressions of interest

Closing date for your expression of interest is Monday 16th March
On receipt, further details will be sent to you.

Itoshima Incense/糸岛香熏

I took a vacuum cleaner on walks through rural Japan, collecting dust along the way. Later, I transformed that dust into incense.
