I captured this photograph for posterity, as I do for all the photographs I capture for this project. In the back of of my mind I do this with all the buildings and built landscape I document as I feel that time can render places obsolete by demolition or altered beyond original recognition. Especially buildings from this period in Tasmanian history in which my 20 years of documenting I have seen many lost or altered. The fountain was designed in 1972 and pre-dates the surrounding Modernist landmarks such as Civic Square, Henty House and the Launceston Police Station. At the time Cameron Street would have still ran through what is Civic Square. I remember growing up with these kinds of civic spaces, the ability to play and have the sounds of flowing water right in the city was a feature of many civic spaces. The water fountain has recently been altered beyond its original recognition with turf being laid over where the water once was and the top of the falls now a plant garden. I wish the stones under the waterfall had been kept as they are now covered over too. The memories of detergent being added to the top of the waterfall to create a foam bath effect is another memory that many would probably have too! This photograph as well as other Tasmanian buildings from the project are available for the first time as a fine art limited edition print in various sizes. All photographs are printed on archival paper using archival inks and are signed and numbered. Prints come with a COA with a personalised story on my memories of capturing the photograph. All prints are shipped using sign on delivery and tracking. Print options are available here.
