Being made in February of this year and being a meditation on origins, the work is a hura kōhatu, as it is a calendar year since my remaining parent died.  Romantically their ash is scattered together under a tree in Tiatoko in the Horowhenua with no formal marker or stone. 

 

The numbers on the medal 3 7 8 9 were my father’s alarm code, made up from my parents two homes No 37 in Sunderland and No 89 in Taitoko. 

 

Taitoko used to be a dark sky site and stargazing was obligatory, Orion the hunter and Crux, for navigation, were the first constellations to be identified and learned. They served as useful measures of both time and scale, human and infinite.
