Claire Brunet’s « What Water Do You Come From? »
What Water Do You Come From? is a multifaceted series that delves into humanity’s impact on marine life and the state of waterways.
The concept was developed for the SCANZ 2015 Water and Peace residency project in New Plymouth, New Zealand, entitled Convergence. See also Convergence 2015 (YouTube 5.57 min)
The series of works, from projection mapping and printmaking to bronze sculptures, explore artistic perception, interpretation, and interaction with the natural environment through fostering a plurality of creative approaches. The visual outcome of this project is influenced by creative research perspectives on the porous quality of digital mediums, allowing the passage from two-dimensional to three-dimensional artworks.
Therefore, the creative output transitions from a nighttime projection to a woodcut print edition, and 3D sculptural objects, mixing 3D prints and wax cast in bronze. This series of small bronze sculptures concludes the exploratory dimension of the body of work titled What Water Do You Come From? aiming to expand spatial boundaries from digital to analogue means to create (Brunet 2023).
