The ‘Cycles’ series chronicles the changing of the seasons and the wax and wane of the moon. Through the lens of the traditional Celtic festivals and the astronomical calendar, these images evoke feelings of mystery and awe, and help us to understand our place in the natural world.
In Celtic mythology, the feminine has three aspects: the Maiden, the Mother and the Crone. Each of these corresponds to a stage in a woman’s life, a phase of the moon and also to certain times in the year. The four elements, Earth, Air, Fire and Water bring further influences that were relevant to the fertility festivals of the Celts.
When the Mother of Earth reigns, the plants above ground are strong and root vegetables have begun to develop in the darkness below. She represents the hidden treasures in the earth and the abundance we know is there but can’t see just yet.
