Waterlines

Volunteer Park, Seattle, WA (July 2009)

Where does tap water come from? How did it get here? Will there be enough? To answer these questions I traveled within the world of Seattle Public Utilities to speak to members of the organization who work with water. I also explored ancient Mesopotamia (home of King Hammurabi's water rules), and made side trips to the land of "virtual water."

The project will take place in a temporary office trailer located in Volunteer Park between the Seattle Asian Art Museum and the Conservatory. An exhibition of photography and prose stories and water related artifacts will be open for viewing before and after the performance.
