About Glacier Lament Mahi Toi Whakaturuki
Ko Glacier Lament he mahi toi whakaturuki e pā ana ki te ngaronga o ngā tuakiri hukapapa (glacier). E whā ngā kāri tae a Pantone e whakarārangi ana i te kara kikorangi hukapapa, engari i roto i ngā hukapapa pono, he rerekē, he hurihuri tonu tēnei kikorangi. I te ngaro haere o ngā hukapapa, ka ngaro tahi hoki tēnei kikorangi ahurei. I tangohia, i whakaranu ngā āhua kikorangi o ngā hukapapa o Alaska, kātahi ka pupuritia i roto i ngā ipu karaehe hangaruatia e ono tekau, e iri ana i runga ake i tētahi kānupa (canvas). I ia wā e pā ana tētahi mahi wāhanga hukapapa (calving event), ka taka tētahi ipu. I te mutunga o te whakaaturanga, kua taka katoa ngā ipu e ono tekau, hei hanga i tētahi peita i runga i te kānupa i raro iho.

- Unique Properties
- There are four color cards in PANTONE for glacier blue. However, in real glaciers, this blue color is variable and dynamic. As glaciers are disappearing, this unique blue is also disappearing. We sampled and blended the blue color from glaciers in Alaska and hung them in recycled glass vials. When one glacier calving happened, one color vial fell down. At the end of the exhibition, all 60 vials fell down, forming a painting on the canvas beneath.

- Inspiration
- Glaciers are sentinels of climate change. They are the most visible evidence of global warming today. This series of works embodies the stunning beauty, rapid change, fragility, destructive power, and magnificence of glaciers. At the same time, they challenge the audience with the dramatic, irreversible ecological damages from climate change.
