This installation is based on a houseboat
at Bulls Bridge, Willow Wren Wharf. It's moored along a pontoon tucked behind
commercial buildings along a section of the Grand Canal. The dimensions of this
one bedroom home is 17.5mx2.5mx2.6m height and goes by the name" Voodoo
Child". An ethnographic approach has
been used to develop this project, which is about making art whilst living on a
houseboat.
This installation consists of a water pump
operated by a 12volt car battery.
Water falls from a tank through
copper/plastic pipes into the pump. The pump then recycles the water back up
into the tank. Let's think about sustainability, adaptability and resilience in
this urban environment. With our population set to rise by 9 billion by 2050 it
makes sense to recycle and continue to develop cost effective energy saving
devices.
