A 3D-printed model of meanders through time, where time is on the vertical axis. Printed in white plastic

A model like this is part of a temporary exhibit at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne that focuses on the Yarra (Birrarung) River [the result of a collaboration with Bush Projects, a landscape architecture company]
