The notion of 'The Well' is rich in metaphorical and symbolic potential for Melbourne-based artist Sarah Walker. Doubling as the title for her book, the idea serves as a site of foreboding, reflection and renewal – a place where currents of past, present, and future purl and fold. The project’s formative images emerged out of a period of great solitude and personal upheaval for Walker, who describes these early gestures as a private series of ‘contemplations on love, heartbreak, grief, family, and uncertainty’. She had no plans to show the images; they existed as mere studies of a time and personal state. It was only after visiting a psychic – an exercise in breaking out of a rut – that things began to shift.
