As a companion to our concurrent Lightworks exhibition we present the four-channel video installation, Watershed, a component of David Stephenson’s and Martin Walch’s epic collaboration, The Derwent Project. Watershed was purchased for the ANU Art Collection in 2017.
The Derwent Project is a collaboration between the two artists; it visualises in intriguing and thought-provoking ways the complex natural and cultural history of Tasmania’s Derwent River system. This vast, sublimely beautiful and often inaccessible environment includes Aboriginal and colonial heritage alongside ten hydroelectric developments; its multiple layers of space and time present opportunities to synthesise artistic and scientific paradigms of representation by drawing on geography, history, ecology and archaeology.
The Drill Hall Gallery acknowledges the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples, the traditional custodians of the Canberra region, and recognises their continuous connection to culture, community and Country.
