‘Equinox in the Buchat’ was a community art project to celebrate the autumn equinox on Sept 22, 2012, led by installation artist Gill Russell.



The project was held during ‘Art in the Buchat‘- an exhibition for North East Open Studios at Glenbuchat Hall. A giant installation of more than 100 individual colourful wind mobiles was created and hung over the River Buchat, with a personal wish for the coming winter attached to each one. A celebration took place, with drums, bells and poetry readings. A straw salmon was placed in the river, marking the equinox and the passage of time into winter as it floated down the river.
