Duiwan River 2

Returning River, Strata 1&2

My studio is situated on a hillside above the Duiwan River in Kanimbla Valley, Gundungurra Country. The valley was carved and formed by the waters of the river. Negative human influences on this river system have been significant due to contemporary urbanisation and mining, but with the closure of power stations and raised environmental awareness, the river is returning. Platypus, eastern water rats and a variety of bird species have been sighted in larger numbers.  The installation ‘Returning River’ explores the colours and contours of the river as it journeys through the valley.
