Water’s movement through the environment has been likened to a form of information transfer, a situation that would have the water bringing traces of the landscape through which it has travelled into my home. Mirroring this exchange, I communicate with the water by writing the names of the waterways it has traversed on its terrestrial journey to my sink. This symbolic gesture assists the water to understand its past whist allowing a better appreciation of the ecological connections that bind me to place.
In many instances this water’s journey is highly regulated, moving via an engineered landscape to facilitate the production of power, the provision of water for irrigation and drinking water. These artificial interventions bring to mind a form of play as the water spectacularly cascades down dam walls or joyfully roars through pipes/canals or sluice gates in actions reminiscent of amusement park rides.
