peara honey

'peara honey,

pearly honey

dripping down my cheeks

melting onto the ipu,

iridescent in the water

iridescent in the light.

i collected peara, like memories,

hanging them from my frame,

adorning my ipu.'

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.
