Meadowbank
2010, two-screen video, each 1920x1080, duration 25:00, no sound (excerpt).

In May of 2010, Lake Meadowbank on the Derwent River in Tasmania was 'drawn down' six meters over thirty six hours, remaining so for two days while the spillway gates of the dam wall were inspected and tested as part of Hydro Tasmania's dam safety programme. The flooded waterway hadn't been lowered this much for over forty years.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
