Traveling Watershed

Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh; and traveling throughout Scotland, 1998–1999


Commissioned by the Society of Scottish Artists for the 104th Annual Exhibition

Materials

Glass, etched aluminum, water collected from Edinburgh and Central Pennsylvania


Dimensions

Two cases, one 28' wide x 36' tall x 4" deep,

the other 34' wide x 43' tall x 4" deep

One case of bottles contains a water sample from all the burns, firths and lochs of Edinburgh’s watershed. The other case contains water from streams, rivers, and reservoirs around the artist’s studio in Central Pennsylvania. Each bottle was sandblasted with the name of the waterway from which it was collected. Traveling in Scotland and across the Atlantic, the boxes can be shut to become suitcases for the watersheds.
