How do you picture a river? Memories, histories, pictures, maps, paintings, stories. Put them all together in your head and dream. The brilliant Cache Remeandered is Courtney Davids’ dream of the River Cache- a spontaneous trancelike expression of the river, its history, its course, the human encroachments and the natural cycles of flood and drought. She emphasises the ephemeral nature of it all and speculates on why one is so blind to the prudent way that nature had chosen to carve out her path.
