"'Repositories ...' takes us on a series of ecoconscious journeys with an artist who has been intimate with many waterways, and the people, flora and fauna living along them. For over twenty years, Basia Irland has been working with scientists, students, activists and Tribal members along waterways across the US and Canada. With her ongoing art practice to create a deep and meaningful engagement with living bodies of water, the construction of Repositories emerged as a methodology for archiving documentation of research and physical engagements during Irland's riparian journeys. Repositories, the book, documents the construction of the artists' portable sculptures and the objects within which reveal rich stories of rivers through the collection of water data, watershed maps, artworks, plants, and seeds."-- ecoartspace webpage.
