In this interview, C.O.L.A. 2021 Visual Art Fellow Lia Halloran discusses the inspiration and research behind her largest work to date, “The Sun Burns My Eyes Like Moons”, and how its layering and processes of cyanotype, photographic negatives and positives and various mark making continues the artist’s ongoing interest in bringing scientific concepts, inventions, and experiences into a contemporary art setting. With its consuming scale, material exploration and spirit of discovery, Halloran expands notions of time and space to create a “temple to the sun.”
