Their names were etched onto the bottles along with the location from which the water was sourced.<\/p>\n<p>Making Water Visible is a wall-mounted installation that maps Victoria\u2019s natural water network, using perspex and mirror glass.<\/p>\n<p>In the exhibition space, the two complementary pieces were displayed together, presenting our relationship to water at two different scales; the map and the bottles, the community and the individual.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the two artists, please consult their websites:<\/p>\n<p>Debbie Symons <a href=\"https:\/\/debbiesymons.com.au\/\">https:\/\/debbiesymons.com.au\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jasmine Morgan Ryan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jasminemorganryan.com\/\">https:\/\/www.jasminemorganryan.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7065,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[138],"tags":[148,276],"class_list":["post-7053","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-convergence","tag-art-installations","tag-data-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7053","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7053"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7053\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7077,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7053\/revisions\/7077"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7053"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7053"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hydroarts.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7053"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
