In drawing attention to the human body, its vulnerability and sensitivity as a body of water the work explores the nature of the body's fluidity and form.

The human being as we see him is a completed form.
But this form has been created out of movement. It has
arisen from those primeval forms which were
continually taking shape and passing away again.
Movement does not proceed from quiescence; on the
contrary, that which is in a state of rest originates
in movement. – R Steiner.

Made in collaboration with movement artist Colleen Bartley (US). The work originated from a walking journey from the source of the River Lee at Gougane Barra, Co. Cork to the sea at Weavers Point at the mouth of Cork Harbour.

Project created as part of the Cork Artists Collective Residency Programme funded by Cork 2005.
