Heliogram a limited edition flexi publication that combines field recordings by Robin Watkins with a suite of prints by Nina Canell. In their own ways, they consider the ecological effects of static electricity by tapping into a field of intermingling energy signatures.

For Heliogram, Robin Watkins used a handheld receiver to modulate energy into a hearable range, capturing a range of hum harmonics in real time. Locating low-frequency audio signals from midge-wings within the magnetosphere, it is a direct channeling of atmospheric electricity, pressed on a transparent flexi sheet. The recording is accompanied by 12 risograph-printed images from the series Polyethylene Feels by Nina Canell. Caused by the branching of microcharges, copper particles follow the indeterminate behavior of ions, exposing sudden intricate arrangements on plastic polyethylene sheets. Buildup and traces left behind by fingers, hair, mechanical production processes, and folding are some of the electrostatic presences that register in the prints. -Publisher
