The Great Descent: The Axis of the Wheel | Aug 2016

RESEARCH NOTE: The Irreversible Return.

The descent from celestial heights to the culmination of the Great Descent. The ‘Wheel of the World’ functions as an interface for the impersonal force of the Logos; placing the SUBJECT OF THE WORK at the central axis signifies a state of complete surrender to the gravity of The Real. This illustrates the ‘Somatic Slide’—the essential high-speed coordination required to bypass resistance and inhabit the material realm. Velocity is the functional necessity here; it provides the inertial force needed to bridge the gap between abstract spirit and physical density, ensuring the essence is driven deep into the earth rather than remaining suspended. The auditory data confirms the irreversible, high-velocity descent into the True Stone.

THE VISION: The SUBJECT OF THE WORK is shown inside a black tyre, legs reaching through the centre, sliding down the slope of an enormous mountain with a background of vertical, silhouetted pines. A sensory transmission delivers specific auditory data: ‘One hell of a descent,’ describing both the majestic heights and the swift, grounded habitation.
