“I have seen the grey stars marching,
And the green bubbles in wine,
And there are Gothic vaults of sleep.”
Spencer Finch - 366, Emily Dickinson’s Miraculous Year (2009)
This work is based on Emily Dickinson in 1862, when she wrote 366 poems in 365 days. It is a real-time memorial to that year, which burns for exactly one year. The sculpture is comprised of 366 individual candles arranged in a linear sequence, each of which burns for 24 hours. The colour of each candle matches a colour mentioned in the corresponding poem. For the poems in which no colour is mentioned, the candles are made out of natural paraffin.
Oh, my lady.
“I have seen the grey stars marching,
And the green bubbles in wine,
And there are Gothic vaults of sleep.”
