Hamish Donaldson, Water Table #2 (detail), 2019, blown glass, timber

This work is a visual representation of water towers in the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. These towers are scattered within the communities and have tapped into the water table since early colonisation. With rampant modern consumption of natural resources drying up the sacred life sustaining waterholes this work encompasses the duality of being a source of life in a harsh landscape, whilst continuing to impact the environment and oppression of Indigenous Australians. Made from Glass and Silky Oak Timber.
