From the very start I want to thank the Mechanical Alchemist - (aka Pigskin) and the Mechanical Alchemist's Apprentice for their time, patience and for the space taken up in the Workshop of Wonders.

"Nothing is enough for the man whom enough is too little" Epicurus

Brigitte Williams was invited to produce an artwork for the Big Egg Hunt. Along with 200 artist's, designer's, architect's and jeweller's eggs it has been placed in public thoroughfares around London. 
Bidding has started.
Brigitte has constructed "Zero is ..." as a translation of her artwork "Out of the Dark" into three dimensions. 
It reads as a poetic and contemplative voyage into nothingness. 
The egg sits on its plinth, reminding me of a Tibetan prayer wheel inviting circumambulation.
Situated in victorian Leadenhall market within the Square Mile it is a fitting reminder that greater concepts other than hedge funds exist.


The Germ within the Cosmic Egg takes unto itself Form. The Flame is re-kindled. Time begins. A Thing exists. Action begins. The Pairs of Opposites spring into being. The World Soul is born, and awakens into manifestation. The first rays of the new Cosmic Day break over the horizon.

You never fail to inspire Brigitte. Thank you.
