Canoe Artists
Canoe is Mountain to Mouth’s lead ephemeral artwork. Canoe leads walkers from You Yangs Big Rock, carrying water from the ancient rockwell along the 80 kilometre contemporary songline to the mouth of the Barwon River, at Barwon Heads. In 2018, Canoe Commission is made possible by funding from Deakin University. The 2018 Canoe Artists are to be announced shortly.
Following a national and international call out to artists, Leslie Pearson from North Carolina USA and Kerrie Bedson from Ocean Grove, Australia have been jointly awarded the commission. Both artists bring different skills to the process and will share these with local artists in practical workshops offered.

2018 Walking Circle Artists
Twelve Walking Circles mark resting points for Mountain to Mouth’s lead processional image - Canoe - and walkers as they travel the M~M 80km contemporary songline.
Each Walking Circle features an ephemeral artwork commissioned from a Geelong regional artist. For M~M2018, the artworks respond to the place they are installed and to the overarching theme for M~M2018 - Earth.
““What an incredible experience! …That was the hardest, most beautiful, and rewarding event I have ever worked on.””
