About the Work
The
Whanganui
River
is
a
spiritual
place
for
Anne
Noble,
who
grew
up
on
its
banks.
In
1982
she
made
a
photographic
journey
up
the
river,
she
says
of
it
'In
the
morning
the
mist
rises
off
the
river,
and
from
a
hilltop
above
the
valley
I
see
a
long
snake
of
mist
floating
in
the
river's
path,
that
stretches
as
far
as
the
eye
can
see.
The
Wanganui;
a
healing
river
of
sacred
springs
and
potent
secrets.
I
came
out
of
the
Place
as
the
Spring
from
its
Source.
I
made
a
journey
to
claim
this
river.
I
feel
its
currents
curling
around
my
bones.'
