Calendar is a series of works that reference historic calendars, to mark a specific moment in time.

First Light Byzantium is created for Istanbul; was once the centre of the Byzantine Empire with a calendar beginning on September 1st which was believed to be the day of the creation of the world. First Light Byzantium is a record in gold of the first ray of light to enter the house on day three of creation; in Genesis this is when God created the dry land. 

14th September 1752 is the day England moved from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. To do so eleven days had to be deleted, meaning everybody went to sleep on September 2nd and woke on September 14th. Gregorian records the pattern of light across walls at each end of the building, at dawn and dusk mirroring one another. Additionally, two gilded semi circles are applied to the window glass. They meet when the window slides open.

Gold is an opulent material, associated with the sun, transcendence and permanence; used for the halos of religious icons, wedding bands. It will not tarnish or decay.
