Mapping the Capertee Valley

These gorgeous images are fragments of an artwork by Georgie Pollard. Georgie is a Kandos-based artist who has "mapped" the Capertee Valley using tiny collaged words, incorporating Capertee Valley hydrology, botany and Indigenous/colonial history. She is exploring how we inscribe many meanings over landscapes, meanings that jostle for our attention when we try to repair them.

Georgie's map will be part of Waterland, the exhibition the Mulloon Institute is staging with Kandos School of Cultural Adaptation. Georgie is also contributing her talents to the landscape rehydration puzzle, as the other images show.
