my feet are covered in kirikiri
'my feet are covered in
kirikiri,
all sandy and wet,
it's a love hate feeling.
but i feel her remnants
on me and it feels so good,
all gritty, all grainy
as i wriggle and
stretch all my toes.'
Moon Water; Wai Marama explores the idea of ‘moon charged water’ – sacred water embodied; a transference of energy; of wairua. It speaks to the innate connection and relationship of moon and water, entailing that neither can exist without the other.

Artist
Olivia Asher
Olivia Asher (Ngāti Tūwharetoa) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau. Olivia embraces experimentation and spontaneity through the materiality of her work. Making becomes a meditative process, where she immerses herself in the present moment, exploring the exchange between intention and intuition. Seeking a visceral response to her work, Olivia harnesses the tactile and sensory qualities of her materials through the transformative use of colour.
Olivia holds a BFA from Te Waka Tūhura Elam School of Fine Arts and Design.
