Drawing The Water is an artwork inspired by The Spout. A public water scheme that dates back to 1860 when the Godfrey Family organised to bring clean, free water to the townspeople. For almost a century The Spout was the hub of social activity in the town as people came and went with buckets of water.

This project attempts to bring about an awareness of what community was. Questioning what community is now? And what it’s potential could be in the future? My intention is for recipient viewers of the film to re-examine this question — what is community to you? Of being in the present, of having time to meet, time to chat and to bring about an awareness of the question of the future of your community.
