The ritual space amid Hilma af Klint’s The Ten Largest

Created on commission for Kunstmuseum Den Haag, amid Hilma af Klint’s The Ten Largest. Where Af Klint drew the symbols she received from beyond, participants here drew their own: personal symbols, as playful as they are meaningful, that only they can truly read.

In the Texan desert, a ritual was created for the Art Blocks festival in Marfa. Held at the equinox, it took its form from the desert landscape.

Rituals have also been created on commission around existing bodies of work — Totem and Moonphases — for museums, festivals and galleries.
