History
In some countries tap water is undrinkable and is labelled not potable. This could be a solution for Australia’s water shortage.In this work, the international symbol for ‘not potable’ water is overlayed with water coloured voile under a layer of blue netting to signify the filtering of water and information; an experiment in image-text.
