DRAWING A CONTOUR LINE

Throughout 2020, KSCA artist Leanne Thompson has worked with members of the Capertee Valley community in rural NSW on a weaving project about water, plants and regeneration in the farming landscape. For this part of the project she created a 130 metre contour line at Umbiella Farm. A contour marks a horizontal line in the landscape perpendicular to the slope, and can be a used as tool within regenerative land management to encourage water to slow down, move laterally and soak in to the ground.
