Delmo

​An integral contributor to the 'Aquaphilia' exhibition, Delmo brings a unique perspective to the collective expression of the group. Holding a Masters in Architecture, he has chosen to explore the human interaction with water by means of infrastructure and passage. What do we build to be closer to water? And in turn, what is built to preserve these environments. Enjoy ink and watercolour representations of the Barwon River and surrounding coastal areas.

Structures and passage

Floating along the Barwon RIver, in a little sparrow dinghy, this collection of film photography is an attempt to observe how we intersect the water and imprint the landscape. How we use water and how we move around it. How the river colours change in time and place. 

Photograph’s from Bass Straight, the river Barwon between Ocean Grove & Barwon Heads and further towards Lake Connewarre. 

Camera - Olympus OM-1 1972 
Film - Kodak 200 Gold, Kodak Ektar 100, Kodak Portra 400, Fujifilm - Fujicolour Pro 400H 

"The electric phosphorescent,
Of The ashes that glistened before,
Lights the ocean, Bass straight, The river floor,
Lagged dripped brushes emit,
Colours drenched in salted spit,
For the dream palette does bestowe,
The mighty river barwon - longer than us she shall swell and glow". - Jesse David Delmo
