A transit is not limited to movement through space, but also time and knowledge.
The time referred to in the sculpture is expansive and endless.
This continuous line evokes connectivity. It resonates with the iconic form for infinity and the hourglass.
The work asks us to connect as individuals with the spiritual passage of humanity and invites the recollection of all our stories to be melded together as a thread where the knowledge is learnt from our journey and accrues culturally.
There is no specific moment of arrival or departure instead we are offered the notion of ‘being’ and belonging to the fabric of existence.
Within the notion of this cycle, we also hold our understanding of ecology, the tracing of life into the continuous flow of evolution. Our challenge is not to be the cause of critical disruption, of severing the intricate network.
We must be aware and embedded.
Transit was featured in Harbour Sculpture in 2013 and was acquired by the Friends of Hazelhurst in 2021 to become the inaugural work for the permanent collection at Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Art Centre in Gymea, NSW.
