Artist Statement
Bogong Village is very famous for Junction Dam. Many tourists come to see this giant structure. Junction Dam was completed in 1944. It was the first dam in the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme and at its peak it employed more than 4000 people. Hydro Electricity is still generated at the village today.
The artificial lake, just below the junction of the Rocky and Pretty Valley branches of the East Kiewa River, is one of seven storage points and operates a 26,000 kilowatt power station. When I first saw this marvelous structure it reminded me of Richard Seeraβs stone installation.
Junction Dam is astonishing, minimal and mysterious. It is composed of concrete but has esthetic values. I am especially fascinated by the antiquated textures of the walls.
When I was sitting near Lake Guy, I suddenly realized that natureβs atmosphere is a combination of air, light, wind and humidity. So I tried to figure out how I could capture this beautiful dam. This region has exceptionally strong sunlight and natureβs ambience is so complex, entangled and continuously changing I had to spend long periods of time in the shadow of the dam to capture the colors of the Light.
The word junction means linking, crossroad and joining. The Dam wall photos consist of many kinds of junctions. Through these photos, I want to highlight the hidden.
