Advent, Day 23: Shining All Around

LOOK: Invisible Boundaries by Rowan Mersh

---

Artist’s statement: “A site-specific installation derived from the exploration of a derelict space in West London. I sought to challenge the notion of invisible boundaries created by passages of light and shadow within this broken environment. Over one hundred and fifty miles of cotton thread was used, strung between points of structural relevance, physically plotting paths of light and shadow throughout the course of the day. The result is the evolution of an alternative architectural landscape.”

LISTEN: “Break of Dawn” by Antoine Bradford, feat. Montell Fish, on Light Will Find You (2021)

When I can’t find my way home
There You, there You are
Calling me over to Your side
I can’t escape Your eye

’Cause the light, the light
The light of the world
Is shining, shining all around
Oh, the light, the light
The light of the world
Is shining, shining all around

What I’m saying, Lord
You are my defender in the rain
Through the pain and the times
Through the things I can’t change
I got You all on my mind
You’re the one I wanna find
You’re the one I wanna see
I’ve been going through the motions
Feeling all thesе deep emotions
But You’re the onе that keep my soul straight floating
I’m straight open, I see the light of day
So I bow my head and pray

Oh, the light, the light
The light of the world
Is shining, shining all around
Oh, the light, the light
The light of the world
Is shining, shining all around

The light, the light
Light of the world
Is shining, shining all around
Oh, the light, the light
The light of the world
Is shining, shining all around

I can see the break of dawn
My joy is coming in the morning
I can see the break of dawn
My joy is coming in the morning
I can see the break of dawn
My joy is coming in the morning
I can see the break of dawn
