You like circles huh?

Their curiosity questioning and final

Sydney Biennale 2024

White Bay Power Station

An industrial building
Enormous, clambering
Concrete and steel
Polished and ready

Inside, barely through the door, I meet
A hole –
Mid-height, black, dinner plate size
A portal connecting one room to another

The surrounding plaster
Painted and repainted
100 years.

Six Moons, a series inspired by my photos of this hole. Clean and dusty, the hole was blackness eternal. The edges, felted, escaping, gasses of an Event Horizon.

Event Horizon

The area around the edge of a black hole where everything we know ceases to exist.

Yeah, I guess I like circles.
