It is not a simple record of these works but develops special links between a range of elements as diverse as undersea caves, blowholes, rocks cast from polyester resin, the Governor General, feelings of apprehension, relief, a stack of sandbags in a lake, rowing and the tidal ebb and flow. 538 U-Matic NTSC. 541 0 PFA 0750-01-11139.
