Kate Dorrough has created new works in response to the ecological and spiritual importance of the Manning River. In this process she has extended the boundaries of her practice using new mediums such as combining concrete-based sculpture with ceramic forms overlaid with video projections and textile made from fabric and paper. Installed amongst four rooms and a corridor the pieces are an ode to the natural site which itself is comprised of a unique double delta system, islands, tributaries, catchment areas and two entrances.
