WINTER DAYS 2022 GROUP SHOW Winter Days exhibits a collection of creative responses on the themes surrounding the season of winter. Winter signifies a time of hibernation, introversion, introspection, foraging, going within. Winter is represented through colour and hue, light and varying shades of darkness. Musicians in history have written songs about winter symbolizing tumultuous relationships, heartbreak, and lamentation. Artists in history painted wintery scenes using nature to mirror human emotions. In Greek mythology, Demeter, the goddess of the Earth created winter. In Persian mythology the winter solstice symbolized birth and has been celebrated for thousands of years. Our First Nations communities observe the position of the stars in the sky and follow water, plant and animal cycles as ways of identifying seasonal phenomena. This demonstrates an understanding of the interdependence and interrelationships amongst all living things.
