Things that evaporate

2026, Block print and hikkake-gami (muka) on harakeke tow fibre paper, 12 x 12cm

---

 

Sun halos are atmospheric optical phenomena caused by the refraction of sunlight through ice crystals. I only began seeing sun halos and sun dogs when I lived in the very cold south of New Zealand. The luminous muka fibres printed on harakeke paper form the halo around the heat of the sun. Ice, water, connections, time - all things evaporate.
