The Gisborne Herald • Thursday, May 27, 2021 NEWS 5 Supercomputer helping to solve slow-slip riddle COMBINING supercomputers with seismic CT scans is the latest approach scientists are using to better understand the causes of slow-slip earthquakes on Hikurangi subduction zone off the East Coast. Slow-slip events can release the equivalent of a magnitude 7 earthquake, but they happen so slowly they escaped detection until about 20 years ago. The mechanisms that govern slow-slip events still remain unclear so researchers at GNS Science and the University of Texas at Austin set out to test several theories by pairing very powerful computers with high quality seismic data. Their research has been published in Nature Geoscience as part of a special edition focused on subduction zones. “Subduction zones are the biggest earthquake and tsunami factories on the planet,” said co-author Laura Wallace, of GNS Science and the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG). “With more research like this, we can really SLIPPING AWAY: The Hikurangi subduction zone which lies 40km from the East begin to understand the origin of different types Coast. of earthquake behaviour at subduction zones.” Image supplied Understanding the timing and likely location of a large subduction zone earthquake can only patterns in the data.

t first startling, then effulgent, artist Drew Hill’s description of the Auniversally understood starting point of creation pops with poetic aptness. “The orgasm of nature,” he says of the inspiration behind his sculpted work, Te Po Papatuanuku and Ranginui. “The beginning of nature and everything in the forest and mountains and sea.” The pou is sculpted from clear acrylic, also ORGANIC: Artist Drew Hill known as poly(methyl methacrylate), acrylic works on his acrylic sculpture, glass, or plexiglass acrylic. Illuminated by Te Po Papatuanuku and LED lights inside a mount made of rusted Ranginui, that will be part of metal plates at the base, the pou will be part Luma, Christchurch’s annual of Luma, Christchurch’s annual illuminated illuminated art, light-sculpture, art, light-sculpture, and performance and performance experience. experience. The Guide will run a picture The pou is carved and inscribed with of the completed work once abstract textures that represent the forest, installed at Luma. rocks and the wind, says Hill. Of Ngati Porou Picture by Rebecca Grunwell descent, he has invested in his work the tangata whenua story of creation. The piece is called Te Po Papatuanuku and Ranginui, he writes in a brief about the pou. “They were the ancestors of all parts of nature, including people, birds, forests, fish, winds, and water. Papatuanuku (the earth mother) and Ranginui (the sky father) came to exist in the darkness (te po), and held one another in a tight embrace. “(Papatuanuku) is seen as the birthplace of all things. It is said she came from under the water, and that after the land rose from the water it gave birth to all life. “This is about taking the story and making it a universal piece.” Matauranga Maori educational site Te Kete Ipurangi outlines in its account of the story of the separation of Ranginui and Papatuanuku. “Tawhirimatea (the sun) lived between the embrace of Ranginui and Papatuanuku as did the other children of his whanau. “A meeting was called and the majority of the children decided that their parents had to be separated.” Tane Mahuta braced himself between their parents and pushed them apart. “Tawhirimatea roared with fury, ‘No!’ But it was too late. Ranginui and Papatuanuku were forced apart, and light filled the world. “As time passed, animals, plants and people grew in the light of the sun.” The translucency of Hill’s chosen medium lends itself to lighting effects. “When I polish it up it glows even in the day. The light refracts inside it and bounces around so it takes on a different mood in the day than it does in the dark. “Acrylic is a different medium from anything else. It’s almost like a liquid.” To work with acrylic Hill uses a type of rotary tool. The tool can be used for drilling, grinding, cutting, cleaning, polishing, sanding, routing, carving, and engraving. “If the piece is lit up and you put your tool in it disappears. It’s like it’s lost in space.” The piece of acrylic Hill has used for the pou was left over from his 2012 public artwork, Guardian — Te Tairawhiti, installed outside Kathmandu in Gladstone Road. Inscribed with biomorphic forms that flow and overlap with changing viewpoints, the four-metre high plexiglass cylindrical sculpture lights up at night. Hill has since created several more works from acrylic and light and this will be the fourth year he has a piece included in Luma. “It’s nice to be invited to the festival,” he says. “Because it’s a light festival the acrylic works really well. I love using light in my sculptures. Acrylic is the perfect medium and Luma is the perfect exhibition for me.” 24 The Gisborne Herald • Thursday, May 27, 2021
