'The Intelligence of Water' (100x100cm, white wood framed to 110x110cm, acrylic on canvas)
I have long loved painting water, journeys, the immersive experience of swimming, floating, being in the sea, a cold river, a pool, and even the bath. Through layers and layers of paint and gel, pasted, painted, smeared, washed and dripped on, this painting expresses that wetness, depth, and mystery.
‘Into the sea I go, to lose my mind and find my soul’
-Michelle Lucking
The title is based on Veda Austen’s book, ‘The Living Language of Water’, which describes a responsive and reflective, active soul of water, that interacts with the body that enters it.
