Book excerpt: This catalogue showcases GLISTEN, a kinetic sculpture by Lisa Reihana, an Aotearoa New Zealander artist. Activated by wind and sunlight, the sculpture mirrors its environment with shimmers across its surfaces, inviting interaction within its triangular space. GLISTEN honours the weaving traditions of Southeast Asia and Aotearoa, allowing Songket and Māori Tāniko patterns to meet and coexist in a vibrant and harmonious visual celebration. The publication includes a curatorial essay, a dialogue with the artist about her creative process, and stunning photographs of GLISTEN. A foldout insert, designed to reflect the essence of GLISTEN, allows readers to peruse the intricate designs, accompanied by annotated text.
