Twelve by Shaun McAllister

£7.50

Twelve is a participatory photography project, a collaboration between a local photography research team and volunteers from two organisations based in Blackburn (Lancashire, UK) that provide support for the community. Twelve explores the motivations behind, and the meanings of, volunteering.

 

The number twelve resonates. It’s the number of months in the solar calendar. The number of signs in the western and Chinese zodiac. The number of principal Gods of the Pantheon. The number of books in Milton’s Paradise Lost. The smallest abundant number. The number of pitches in an octave, and the number of steps to recovery. Across literature, music, nature, science, therapy, and religion, twelve implies completeness.
