The Water Carriers: Trans-formations
The Water Carriers: Trans-formations explores connections between women, water, and reimagined myths in an exhibition of new sculptural ceramics. Reframing the myth of Daphne, Bridge considers hybridity, adaptation, and queering of human and non-human relationships as strategies for survival and trans-formation. Daphne’s metamorphosis into a laurel tree and escape from Apollo’s relentless pursuit – becomes an act of ecological queerness and biophilic inter-being, challenging extractive, patriarchal narratives. Emerging from the symbolic language of dreams, Bridge’s evocative sculptural ceramics conjure imagined narratives for new futures.
The Water Carriers: Trans-formations is the first exhibition of new works from an evolving project by Claire Bridge, presented in unique iterations across multiple venues in 2025 and 2026. This project is proudly supported by the City of Kingston’s Grants Program and auspiced by Arts Access Victoria.
