Light Winter Light
Linne's "Flowerclock", the writings about the travel to Lappland and a 'growing' mathematical series are the inspirational grounds I've used in making the piece Light Winter Light.
In Linne's flowerclock - Horologium florae - the blooming and closing of different flowers is used to depict the fleeting hours of day and night. This Linnean idea of a 'biological clock' has since the 18th century inspired many artists in different fields. The idea of time passing through the flowers are incorporated into the piece by ten different musical ideas unfolding and closing and by that determining the different formal parts of the piece.
