Two light shades made from venner and plaster of paris, representing the two major earthquakes to hit Christchurch in 2010 and 2011. The shape of these comes from the seismographic data where there venner is the approaching wave up until the largest magnitude and the plaster is the receeding earthquake wave. Each is lit with a incandescent bulb whilst hung over the corresponding epicentre of the earthquake. Hung from forms that represent the cranes that will rebuild the city these two lights were exhibited in the red zone of Christchurch where fellow design students from around New Zealand created a night of remeberance and inspiring design.
The lights are hung over the respective places that each earthquake happened to bring information as well as beauty to the exhibition.
The heights are respective of the depth of each earthquake.
The Red Zone of Christchurch was opened to allow us to exhibit and enlighten the people of the Garden City
