INTRODUCTION :


‘Beltane’ is the sixth in an evolving series of Anima Mundi online mixed exhibitions following this rhythm of the seasons, known as ‘the wheel of the year’. This ‘calendar’ provides a cue for the duration of each show, and inevitably flavours the selection of works presented.

In many traditions, time is considered to be cyclical rather than straight line. Perceived as a perpetual cycle of growth and retreat tied to the Sun’s annual death and rebirth. This cycle is also viewed as a micro and macrocosm of broader life cycles in an immeasurable series of rotations composing the Universe. The days that fall on the landmarks of the yearly cycle traditionally mark the beginnings and middle-points of the four seasons.


The exhibition includes artworks by (in order of appearance) :

Tim Shaw, Eleanor Faye Woods, Henry Hussey, Luke Frost, Claire Curneen, David Kim Whittaker, Miles Cleveland Goodwin, Phoebe Cummings, Jennifer McRae, Andrew Litten, Lisa Stokes, Andy Harper, Carlos Zapata, Sarah Gillespie, James Seow, G L Brierley, Kate Clark, Luke Hannam, Arthur Lanyon, Rebecca Harper, Gabrielle K Brown, Alice Ellis Bray, Katie Sims, Paul Benney, Sam Lock, Kristoffer Axen, Simon Averill, James E Crowther, Sax Impey, Joy Wolfenden Brown, Andrew Hardwick, Peter Randall-Page.

But he calls down a blessing on the blossom of the May,
Because it comes in beauty, and in beauty blows away
