Artesian Basin: a geological structural feature in which water is confined under pressure.
Artesian Bore: a deep hole drilled to the aquifer of an artesian basin, through which water rises under hydrostatic pressure.
This project was made at sites within The Great Artesian Basin region; at underground caves, and exposed springs at the surface of the desert. The video-works that make up the installation are an extension of a spatial-drawing practice, where an abstraction is formed in-camera, intervening and guiding the current of data in real-time through pressure and gesture exposing the camera’s circuit board to dust, moisture and extreme heat.
