WATER GLORIOUS WATER
This page holds something preciously personal, for water's nature has been an intimate guide in my life and though it doesn't always look like it, it has been an underlying subject in all of my art.
Speaking of personal, here are some of my paintings lining my bedroom walls in a flow of a water dreaming world
Learning flow, has been my constant pursuit. To make art with fluid coherence has been my treasured goal. Water flows through all of its states throughout our whole world. Even as ice it flows through change in its crystalline form. As liquid or vapor it covers our earth and fills our atmosphere. It fills our bodies. It makes our bodies. It is the most primal teacher and life giver.
So I am celebrating water here and asking all of us what is it really?
For me it is intuitive. It's emotional. Feeling in motion, not restricted. But it's also exquisite crystalized order like an attunement to perfect universal patterns. Water speaks music, dance and infinite geometry. My art is celebrating the love of the wholeness of that encounter.
With that passion my art has been about creating worlds within worlds that want to lead viewers to a reflection of living in wonder. Fantastically amplifying my experience is how water is now being seen through science. The current scientific research into water is creating a new understanding of a world of extraordinary wonder we had no idea lives in this "simple" medium.
A portal you could say is opening to the mysteries of water and it is looking out from eons of reflections of life. As one example, tiny amounts of water as a medium to hold huge amounts of data is actively being researched and utilized in tech industries. Structuring water to exponentially enhance its physiological and agricultural benefits among a host of others is another. Then the most awe inspiring examples of water crystalizing as it freezes in direct response to the input of words, thoughts and emotions is challenging a new foundational paradigm to emerge. The ancient concept of "the living waters" is re-finding itself in the modern "proof" language of science.
So my question water, what is it? feels explicitly vital to us all. As the world discovers what water truly holds it will be a game changer for the entire planet. As we realize that what we thought was nothing more than a material is actually an interactive substance that our consciousness can extend through, it alters us as beings. It unites us. We are made of it. I have long held the thought that if we could plant just one seed to bring about the greatest harmony in the world it would be empathy. To feel the experience of others - people, plants, animals, oceans... We would not be separate. The water in me knows the water in you. We could not. not see, our influence and our care would magnificently flow. Perhaps that is what water was teaching us all along and that is what it is.
I speak art and science isn't anywhere near a second language. What I've said here barely touches the surface of water discoveries, so here are a few of the brilliant scientists and researchers that are reaching into the realms of water and bringing back extraordinary findings to awaken our world.
Dr. Mu Shik Jhon ‘Molecular Water Environment’. is his theories on the dynamic nature of structured water.
Dr. Masaru Emoto. He wrote the world famous book "The Hidden Messages in Water" which opened the door to an entirely new view of water and its interaction with influences. Loads of material online.
Veda Austin has a book called "The Secret Intelligence of Water: Macroscopic Evidence of Water Responding to Human Consciousness" and another titled, "The Living Language of Water ".
Veda has a big presence on YouTube in podcasts and videos which makes it simple to hear the life changing results of her reseach.
Sarah Elkhaldy known as "The Alchemist" has an amazing array of videos on YouTube as well as a series on Gaia TV. Her video on water titled "The Alchemy of Water-Prima Materia" is profound.
Long before I learned of the incredible science that is beginning to reveal water's deeper nature it was my innate nature to create art with water as a key influence. Now, with my discovery of the fantastic dialogue we have with water it has become a part of my mission to use my art to spread that knowledge to help bring us all home to the absolutely connected way of being that is awakening in our world.
I welcome all suggestions of places people and events that would benefit from images I have or can create to add life and vision to their water mission.
Here I am with my painting I call "Symphony for the Pearl Maker". Yup! Water glorious water!
Thank you so much for wading through this page.
