I've realised that two weeks is
hardly any time to get to know a place and work. I tried to see if I could
extend my stay at the cottage but alas, someone else is set to arrive next
week. I now remember that these two weeks were the only empty spot around this time
of the year when I originally contacted the council. Even though it is only a
short time, I have been very happy to be here at this time of the year as it
has been lovely Summer weather and long days, perfect for swimming and walking
around the gorge (and roaming around the city). It would be great to see the
gorge in the Winter time. I have heard that the water gets a lot more violent
and that fog can sometimes fall down around the landscape. It would be really
interesting to see that contrast in seasons. Perhaps I will consider making a
return trip here in the future.
A blog by Jennifer Rooke documenting her residency and travels in Tasmania, 2014. For two weeks she will live and work at Kings Bridge Cottage in Cataract Gorge, exploring and recording the surrounding environment to produce a body of work which records her personal experience of being alone in the landscape.
