Røkkr: Steel, fabric : 4' x 3' x 1': 2007
Røkkr (from the old Norse: Ragnarøkkr or “fate of the gods”)
"Well… here we are at the dawn of the 21st century. We’ve been saying it for so long it’s gone out of fashion for enough time to come back again. And we will be here for a good while yet, as it’s still the beginning until at least the end of the first quarter. For those of you who are still with me, let’s allow for a moment of review. Now is the time. The age of reason has come to pass and in it’s wake we are disposed to slumber. A resourceful dodging of responsibility- a sublime choice dictated by the touch of a button. Here we cradle our chosen ignorance, sheltered from any rouge wisdom or laughter, armoured in our cocoon, ready or not. Will the shell protect us from transformation? Can we cushion the departure of our selves with softness and light?"
