21 Feb ECHO. 2016. TWO POSTCARDS AND A LETTER.
Iona/Glasgow: Iona Craft Shop/Wax366, 2016
11 x 21cm, 2pp artist's postcard letterpress on thick grey card - in 2015 Bellingham cast models of the planets out of bronze and buried them in a remote field on the island of Iona. Each was buried a relative distance from the surface as their average orbits are from the sun.
This card is an extension of that work when two astronomers Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown proposed that a large ice planet might be found far out in the solar system and only so far apparent due to it's effects on other orbits.
Belling in response, cast a new model of the hypothetical planet and thrown into the sea from "The Bay at the Back of the Ocean" on the west coast of the isle o Ioan next to the site of the original "Hidden Solar System".
it is proposed by Bellingham that the new planet be given the name Echo suggested by the words of Batygin who in stressing the speculative foundation of his evidence said "all we have now is an echo".
