This Fountain Operates without Water

Commissioned by the 2005 Castlemaine State Festival, as apart of the collaborative group FOURCAST.

Provisional, participatory and intimate, these works were informed by ecological, social and personal histories.

Studio and installation of art works took place at Tutes Cottage, Castlemaine. Tutes Cottage was built in 1857 from local stone. In 1855 a gold miner became entitled to a portion of land for a house and garden under the terms of the ‘Miner’s Right. Tutes Cottage has been occupied under this right since construction, expiring in 1996, when the last occupant passed away. Tutes Cottage is now owned and managed by Parks Victoria.
