About
This work as a body, sits within the space kept by the Māramataka (Māori lunar calendar)
A cycle consisting of thirty nights each associating to a phase in which the moon is in.
As a way to remember, out loud the names of the nights are spoken.
A literal way of breathing the life back into a cycle lost to another man’s keeping of time.
A time deemed fit only for the civilised.
A time now shared by all of us, the ‘enlightened’ race.
Mārama-tānga, speaks back to this task-orientated time and questions how - the ‘other’ time can be kept.
A keeping of time that extends to, a keeping of space.
A space whose surroundings stretch the contours of a place and act
as a guide to gathering material.
