Cycle Engines

Raewyn Turner - 2003

Sourced from my paintings on d’oillies and embroidered household linens. The geometrical rhythms of the embroideries have been elaborated in digital form linking multiplicities of consciousness from different times and places.
The patterns of the embroideries are reminiscent of Buddist mandala, Polish paper cuts and Polynesian body ornament; similar circular designs are found in many cultures.
The sound (Eddie Rayner) was made from 8 cycles of musical scales, heard only where the cycles cross as in interference patterns
“ pattern and interweave, not unlike that of Maori or other Oceanic cultures, suggests linkage and continuum; sustained intuition; descent and kinship; and unity in Spirit…”
( Don Binney- The Call of The Wild Goose, Exploring Celtic Spirituality)
