Celebrating World Wetlands Day – Launching our watercolour Water Cycle poster
The final poster is a beautifully designed and illustrated depiction of the water cycle – the central focus of our work at Mulloon.
There are plenty of water cycle diagrams out there, but none quite like this one.
Mulloon Institute is thrilled to launch this new poster depicting water’s magical patterns and processes. We have a pile printed and ready to share with the world!
The poster was designed by Mulloon Institute’s Dr Laura Fisher with artist Kim Williams, and lovingly painted and annotated by Kim. Its blend of art and science went through a few iterations, with Kim and Laura ultimately deciding the plant belonged at the heart of the image. It feels fitting that we celebrate the plant’s vital role in healing broken water cycles, central to all our work at Mulloon.
This poster is launched in honour of World Wetlands Day, 2 February 2024. Mulloon is proud to work alongside so many dedicated organisations and communities globally to protect and restore wetlands. Research led by USGS scientist Dr Laura Norman has proven that wetlands, and wetland-like environments that natural infrastructure can create, are ‘soil-water-carbon sinks’, which says so much about their importance for resilience and regeneration.
Reach out to laura@themullooninstitute.org – if you help to cover postage, we would be delighted to send you one for your classroom, office or living room!
Kim Williams, pictured left, is an incredibly talented artist who has been known to write ‘zines about surfing, books of poetry and produce all manner of wonderful art about environmental change - thank you so much Kim for bringing this vision to life!
This poster was developed with the support of the Australian Government through the Citizen Science grant ‘Modelling Landscape Rehydration for Catchments, Communities, and Curriculum’.
