Presented as a paired work, Between Waters and What the River Took draw on aerial views of dried riverbeds, translating their branching, root-like formations into a visual language of connection, movement, and transformation. Across both compositions, Meshel engages with natural systems shaped by flow and erosion, where lines expand, diverge, and trace the passage of time.
Together, the works explore the cyclical nature of water as both a generative and subtractive force. Between Waters reflects a state of transition, where movement, disappearance, and return coexist, positioning the riverbed as a site suspended between presence and absence. In contrast, What the River Took focuses on the aftermath of that movement, where erosion reveals what remains once the flow has receded, and absence becomes a record of what has passed.
A shared sense of directional ambiguity runs through both pieces. Areas of flat colour intersect with passages of fluid motion, resisting fixed orientation and challenging expectations of how movement should behave. In this way, Meshel proposes a non-linear understanding of flow, one that is adaptive, unpredictable, and unconstrained by imposed structures.
Originally presented in a previous exhibition, the works are reintroduced here within a context that more closely aligns with their conceptual concerns. As a diptych, they function as a reflection on interconnected systems, environmental cycles, and the tension between continuity and loss, inviting consideration of both what moves through a landscape and what it leaves behind.
