Star guts (continued)
Aotearoa (p.4) As the moon grows full again, I am thinking of this beautiful alpine walk/ camp, high up in cloud land where mossy lush forests thrive. Hectic rain and fog hid the mountains on our way up but we woke up to an incredible pink sunrise, fog bows and lovely bird song. It has taken a wee while to come back down to earth after this trip to be honest but life is good and I am lucky, and grateful for it all.
Aotearoa (p.3) happiest walking with Ben high up in the mountains and through mossy lichen lands. Photos from the Te Komama/ Routeburn and Piopiotahi/ Milford Sound.
Aotearoa (p.2) lunch at Rob Roy Glacier in Mount Aspiring National Park, not a bad spot to sit and ponder the enormity and power of ice beings eh! Ft the sun doing some intriguing magical icy things and so many lovely rocks.
Aotearoa (p.1) a big ol' tramp (as they call hiking here) out to an ancient sacred ice being, Pikirakatahi, through beech forests, bog, over fallen trees, rivers, landslides and spear grass. A wee white moth landed on my hand as we drank our tea and watched the moon rise up above the glacier.
Just a wee drawing made with the sap from bleeding eucalyptus trees, mostly bloodwoods and ironbarks but all of them have lots of good advice, be sure to listen.

Star guts in the making ✨
We finally found a good spot to film this wee performance on a day that wasn't too windy, thank you Ben for your assistance, as always. I'm working on the edit at the moment but will share it soon. The working title is, 'time folding piece'. Marks and gestures made with saps, organic inks mixed with iridescent resin powders, watercolours and cyanotype; encapsulate moments of time, thought, memory and place.
