Water flows through different parts of the landscape in huge solar-powered cycles, in a constant state of movement and flux. In many parts of Australia, these cycles can be fickle, bringing a sense of unpredictability and risk to our 'wait for water'. Over the millennia, these water cycles have themselves been subject to countless permutations of change: changes we can reconstruct from natural objects such as shells and tree rings, archives of our hydrological past. Now, with anthropogenic climate change taking effect, we can expect the great hydrological cycles of Australia to change again.In this exhibition and accompanying catalogue, Sarah Pirrie (Darwin), Suzi Lyon (Alice Springs), and Amy Jackett (Hobart) visually respond to witnessing impacts of water changes in their local environments. This catalogue is divided into three sections - the Top End, Central Australia and The Island of Tasmania - which feature ecological essays by palaeoecologist Penny Jones and place-centred essays by each of the artists. Exhibited concurrently at the Nan Giese Gallery in Darwin, Watch This Space in Alice Springs, and Pumphouse Point in central Tasmania, Waiting for Water connects three places with very different environments in real time.
