Where Once the Waters was an installation project comprising two evolving artwork sets. One is a series of typed letter artworks; the other, a group of miniature seascape paintings. First shown during the 59th Venice Biennale, the works principally address the issue of rising sea levels, inviting the viewer to reflect on changes which have occurred across their lifetimes, whilst offering commentary on sustainability. This publication offers more insight into this project and the tin paintings specifically.
Across 222 pages, view images of the exhibition in Venice and selected artworks, explore research by the artist and read texts by authors David Gange, Patricia Emison and Kate Reeve-Edwards.
This is a special limited edition signed by David Cass.
