Winter Solstice 2023


It was the best of times, 

it was the worst of times, 

it was the age of wisdom, 

it was the age of foolishness, 

it was the epoch of belief, 

it was the epoch of incredulity, 

it was the season of Light,

it was the season of Darkness, 

it was the spring of hope, 

it was the winter of despair. 

                                                                 

                                                                             Charles Dickens


This glowing orb is a nurdle, a pre-production plastic pellet, found on Kehoe Beach. Magnified 30x. It represents all of the above: best/worst, wisdom/foolishness, belief/incredulity, Light/Darkness, hope/despair.

In 2023 our One Beach Plastic has been challenged by opportunities to exhibit our work in traditional and non-traditional art spaces and museums. We continue our mission to find and present "meaning in the mess." 

We hope that you will spend some time poking around our posts:

Banned and censored books were much in the news this year. At Arion Press we did our part to address this important issue.
