The purity of our drinking water begins there. The engineering of the filtering and transfer of the water is beautiful in its complexity yet I was interested in showing the distance the water travels to the end-user, to the faucet in my kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the materials from Tacoma Water were map after map of the watershed showing the direction of the flow of water from the watershed to communities. I was totally surprised by the huge size of the watershed on the maps and definitely wanted someone viewing my book to understand how its size compared to the size of Tacoma on a map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I decided the best way to display the flow of water from the watershed was by using three books: one would be the map of the area from the Green River Watershed as the foundation, another would be the pop-up book of the watershed lying exactly over it where it was on the map of the first book, and the third book, a pop-up of the faucet in my kitchen sink bringing pure drinking water to me as well as my neighbors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong> <em>Flow of Water<\/em><\/strong>, a unique artist book, is made up of three books:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">   <strong><em>Book I:   The Green River Watershed<\/em><\/strong>, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Size<\/strong>:  closed 4&#8243; wide x 13 1\/2&#8243; high x 1\/4&#8243; deep; open 8&#8243; wide x 13 1\/2&#8243; high x 2&#8243; deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Structure<\/strong>:  Pop-up<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Materials<\/strong>:  Card stock, maps, book cloth and book board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>    <strong>Printing\/Production Method<\/strong>:  laser printed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Book II:  Going the Distance, Delivery of Drinking Water<\/em><\/strong>, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Size:  <\/strong>Closed 5 3\/4&#8243; wide x 5&#8243; high, x 1 1\/4&#8243; deep; open 32&#8243; wide x 15&#8243; high x 1\/16&#8243; deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Structure:  <\/strong>Triangle book<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Materials:  <\/strong>Card stock, maps, book cloth and book board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Printing\/Production Method:  <\/strong> Laser printed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong><em>Book III: Tap Water<\/em><\/strong>, 2020<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Size: <\/strong> Closed 4 1\/2&#8243; wide x 5 1\/2&#8243; high x 1\/4&#8243; deep; open 7&#8243; wide x 5 1\/2&#8243; high x 4&#8243; deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Materials:  <\/strong>Cardstock, book cloth, book board<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>     <strong>Printing\/Production Method:  <\/strong>Laser printed<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\" style=\"background-image:url(http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-758x1024.jpg);background-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"758\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-758x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-316 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-758x1024.jpg 758w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-768x1038.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-1137x1536.jpg 1137w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-1516x2048.jpg 1516w, https:\/\/blogs.pugetsound.edu\/sciencestories\/files\/2021\/02\/angates.portrait-scaled.jpg 1895w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 758px) 100vw, 758px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p>An Gates is an artist who lives in Tacoma, Washington.
