about ditches
In March and April 2003, I started following the ditch downstream from the dunes behind the Westerschouwen lighthouse into the polder. Wide canals and ditches I followed until I could cross them via a transition. Over not too wide ditches I went with the help of a pole pole pole. Continuing eastwards I eventually ended up behind the Dijkwater at Lake Grevelingen. Along the way, photographs were taken at various points and the ditch water analysed and poured out over a sheet of paper. The location of the photos and the analysed ditch water was noted on each page via a small map. The route of the entire trip is shown via watercolours.
