Layers to Luna was a collaboration with Zara Toppins for Manifesta 11 in Zurich. It is made up of a video piece and a performance work. It is an expedition into the emotive effects of the moon cycles, its physical distance yet intimate connection to the earth and its beings. The full moon acts as mirror for the sun, she produces no light of her own the suns rays are projected onto the moon creating its ghostly light.
her ghostly glow captures souls swiftly
pulling us like the tides till we spill blood
the seed is planted in the dark invisible new moon
birthing beginnings have begun
waxing crescent propells actions intact
till the full moon makes us howl
the subtle snaring of the suns light
a luminary that has no light of her own
instead a mirror of of masculine power and radiance
channeling a force so powerfully passive
while she enfolds us softly in her rays
