Bubbles on the Surface III is the culminating exhibition of the research project about water in the drylands of the Murray-Darling Basin. Indigenous artists responded to the research with stories about how to care for country and water places in text and artworks. The artworks and accompanying catalogues bring some of the processes and outcomes of the project to the Australian public. Somerville describes the creative approach to the research as ‘the always unfinished business of singing the country’. It is an approach through which the health and vitality of the waterways of the Murray-Darling Basin can be restored, if only we listen and learn.
The 2008 Exhibition features the work of Paakantji artist Badger Bates, and Yorta Yorta artist, Treahna Hamm with selections of work by Daphne Wallace and Chrissiejoy Marshall.
