14 Mile Brook by Catherine Higham

Catherine Higham is an artist/photographer looking to work with a poet. Her materials and processes are multidisciplinary: painting, assemblage, photography, ephemeral sculpture.  She works with themes that have an environmental focus.

My idea for a book — with the tentative title: wild

She writes:

I would like to work with a poet on the theme of water, although of course this means everything.  I am interested in the connection between water and the body. Currently I am working on The effects of water quality on Lake Clifton thrombolites for the Adaptation project with SymbioticA using documentary photographs of creek lines… Also [doing] a series of paintings based on cloud seeding…

Catherine is looking for:

Ideally a poet, who has an interest in the themes I am working with. I would also be interested in a visual artist working with text although my preference is for a poet.

  1. 14 MILE BROOK-4TH PHOTO ON THIS SITE.

    I LIE HERE, EYES SHUT,
    NOT WANTING TO SEE
    THE RUSTED RAINBOW, FADING,
    CRACKED PANE OF FRAGILE GLASS,
    SURFACE OF WATER, THAT SHOULD BE
    PURE, CLEAN AND SPARKLING.
    WHERE ARE MY KEEPERS?
    THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE GUARDING
    HAS THIS “MODERN” MANKIND FORGOTTEN?
    I AM – THE ELIXIR OF LIFE,
    WHAT THEN
    IF I
    SICKEN
    AND D I E ?
