The media are not toys… they can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms.
(McLuhan, 1954)
24 solar terms
An illustrative calendar that tracks time through the observation of environmental changes rather than a numerical grid.
Originally used for agricultural purposes, the 24 solar terms were invented in China (770-476 BC) and created by following the sun’s annual motion, phenology (seasonal life cycles), and the observation of changes in climate.
Swallows like to find shelter inside. In China, it was often seen as good luck when a swallow decided to nest inside your home. As you invite this calendar into your home, let this gentle bird bring you wellness and good fortune.
