“On our arrival in Vilnius, where by total chance we stumbled onto a large burning wolf. It was a celebration of the fall equinox and the 700th anniversary of the founding of the city, although we didn't know that at the time. We were just walking along the river at sunset, when increasingly large crowds began to appear around us, until it was obvious that there was a gathering of some kind. That's when we saw the wolf. It spoke loudly, in Lithuanian. I don't speak Lithuanian, but that didn't totally matter in the moment. There were people with fire dancing around it and, as the night went on, eventually the wolf was engulfed in flames and smoke and ash poured out across the river and fell onto our faces. It was hard not to feel like I had just witnessed something which stretched back along my roots in these countries to something very primeval.”..... SCOTT LISTFIELD
In this collection, Scott embarks on a deeply personal odyssey alongside his brother, tracing the footsteps of their familial roots through the landscapes of Latvia and Lithuania.
The Equinox’ serves as a visual narrative of their voyage, a tale woven with threads of exploration and introspection as they journey backwards through time in search of ancestral ties.
Scott’s artistic journey began prior to 2001, characterised by whimsical yet poignant paintings infused with his trademark astronaut figure juxtaposed against landscapes rich with contemporary symbolism.
