Springs, created
in conjunction with the Telluride Institute for the San Miguel Watershed
Exhibition, explore the natural springs of the San Miguel Watershed as “local
beginnings.” Water is a medium of
connectivity. Samples of water were
collected from each of 25 springs found throughout the San Miguel Watershed. In
the future, water from other springs will be added to this collection.
Conversations with residents about the locations
of the springs are held throughout the region, creating a transcribed record
of the place of water in their lives. The location of each spring is documented
online (interactive
watershed) with GPS, photographs and video.
