The German Romantic poet Novalis wrote, "There is no doubt that our body is a moulded river", and it is from this idea that the series takes its name. The work will be a series of vertical hanging scrolls on architectural mylar film and will make visual parallels between the flow form patterns created by my own flow experiments using mica dust, and the flow form patterns found in the bloodstreams of the heart, using stills from Dr Kilner's film. The film, <em>Bloodstreams of the Heart</em>, is produced using data from a non-invasive medical imaging technique called magnetic resonance velocity mapping.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A <span dir="auto">Kármán vortex street is a repeating pattern of swirling vortices caused by water flow being obstructed by an object, in this case I dragged a pencil through a tray of liquid that was a mixture of water, black ink and mica dust. The mica dust allows the reflection of light throughout the body of water and so makes visible the flowform patterns.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In December Emma Hunter and Dr Philip Kilner were invited to participate in "Fluid Thinking" a fringe event open to the public at Imperial College. They showed Philip's Bloodstreams of the Heart film, demonstrated suminagashi techniques which make visible water flowform patterns and they demonstrated water flow form patterns in a substance with the same consistency as blood using glycerine ink and mica dust.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">
</span><br />
</span></span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Solve et Coagula </i>is
the first series of works made in response to the Stream Research Project, it
is a series of seven cyanotypes that explore the spiralling flow forms found in
the heart muscle structure that are revealed by medical drawings and engravings.
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The cyanotypes are an amalgamation of elements of suminagashi (a Japanese term
literally translated as ink floated on water) and elements of the medical
drawings which together poetically re-imagine the emerging muscle structure as
a form which flickers between solidity and fluidity. The title, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Solve et Coagula </i>(translated from Latin as,
dissolve and coagulate)<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">,</i> is borrowed
from alchemical terminology and describes a practice of turning solids to
liquids and vice versa. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">To create these works, drawings, which act as a photographic
negative, were made on semi-transparent paper which was then laid over paper
coated in a light sensitive chemical. The coated paper was then exposed to UV
light and fixed with water. This low tech camera-less photography is a method
of ‘painting with light’ to create a painting/drawing/photogram hybrid that
echoes the much more sophisticated technology used to reveal the interior
landscape of the body. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Unlike medical imagery from such technologies as MRI
imaging, which seeks to make the body transparent, these watery forms emerging
from the deep blue, <span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">endeavour</span>
to emphasise the beautiful mystery of the body’s interior and its structural
connection with water flow forms ‘out there’ in nature. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last weekend, Luneside Studios in Lancaster, where I am based, opened its doors to the public. This was the first time work from the Stream Project had been on public display. On show were a group of 16 suminagashi prints, the series of seven (almost) finished cyanotypes, some of the drawings which become the negatives for the cyanotype process and some of the sketches for the next series of work which will be a series of hanging 'scrolls'.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><strong></strong></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">at <em>Water: Nature's Mediator </em>Conference, </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Emerson College, 1st November 2013</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This practical workshop took the form of three parts, firstly participants watched a demonstration of suminagashi and then made some of their own suminagashi prints. Secondly trays were filled with water, ink and mica dust to reveal the flow form patterns occurring within the body of water when it was disturbed by, for example, running a paintbrush through it. Drawings were made 'blind' in response to the patterns forming, participants were asked to use only their fingers dipped in graphite dust to mimic with drawn gesture some of the forms taking place in the water. The final part consisted of a meditation using simple mindfulness techniques to bring people into connection with a sense of the heart beat, rhythm, pulse and flow occurring within their own bodies. This was immediately followed by a drawing exercise which attempted to capture the essence of what participants experienced.</span></div>

The chambers of the heart are shaped in such a way that the blood swirls around in the direction that the heart requires. Even the vast loop of blood made as it flows around the heart means that as the main pumping chamber recoils this helps the upper chamber refill with the next batch of blood.

<span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"The Tao which Taoism knows, and with which art is concerned, is a seamless web of unbroken movement and change, filled with undulations, waves, patterns of ripples and temporary 'standing waves' like a river. Every observer is himself an integral function of this web. It never stops, turns back on itself, and none of its patterns of which we take conceptual snapshots are real in the sense of being permanent even for the briefest moment of time we can imagine. Like streaming clouds the objects and facts of our world are to the taoist simply shapes and phases which last long enough in one general form for us to consider them as units. In a strong wind clouds change their shapes fast. In the slowest of the winds of Tao the mountains and rocks of the earth change their shapes very slowly - but continuously and certainly. Men simply find it hard to observe the fact." </span><br />

<i>Reflects, rises and falls as forces of moon and wind</i><br />
<i>Draw this way or that in weight of waves;</i><br />
<i>But the mutable water holds no trace</i><br />
<i>Of crest or ripple of whirlpool; the wave breaks,</i><br />
<i>Scatters in a thousand instantaneous drops</i><br />
<i>That fall in sphere and ovoid, the film-spun bubbles</i><br />
<i>Upheld in momentary equilibrium of strainand stress</i><br />
<i>In the ever-changing network woven between stars.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i>Forms, like the memory-trace of a preceding state,</i><br />

<i>Amoeboid, ovoid, pulsing or ciliate,</i><br />

<i>Pause, poised in the unremembering current</i><br />
<i>By what will be fathered in the primal matrix?</i><br />
<i>The delicate tissue of life retains, bears</i><br />
<i>The stigmata, the trace, the signature, endures</i><br />
<i>The tension of the formative moment, withstands</i><br />
<i>The passive downward deathward streaming</i><br />
<i>Leaps the falls, a salmon ascending, a tree growing.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It was seeing the centre drawing reproduced in Theodore Schwenk's <em>Sensitive Chaos</em> that led to the conception of this project. The spiralling forms at the apex of the heart (centre) are remeniscent of flow forms found in rivers and streams. From this one image the idea for the stream project was born.</span></div>
