Gratitude Water Crystal, Mixed media on canvas painting, 120x90cm, was inspired by the images of water photographed by Mr Emoto at the point of freezing as it was exposed to the words of gratitude. The snowflake type image reflects the light on its many facets like a cut diamond.
The idea to paint fresh water crystals for the AquaTa Project came to me from the movie “What the Bleep do you Know”. Dr Masaru Emoto, a scientist and Doctor of Alternative Medicine, graduate of the Yokohama Municipal University and the Open International University, who was featured in this movie, found that molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words,and feelings.
At the point of freezing, water samples were exposed to thoughts, words and feelings and using high speed photography, photographed them under a microscope. What he found was that the crystals formed in frozen water when specific, concentrated thoughts were directed towards them. The crystals that were exposed to the positive and loving words, showed exquisite, brilliant, complex and stunning coloured snowflake patterns. At the other extreme, polluted and water exposed to negative thoughts and words, formed incomplete, dark and dull coloured asymmetrical patterns. No crystal formation was evident. To find out more about this, read his book “The Hidden Messages in Water” and www.whatthebleep.com/crystals/ or www.beyondword.com, www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWn4QF6dCwM

SOOOO…. with that in mind and that WE are 78% water, what could this mean to us as human beings AND to the planet.
The initial name ACWATA came from the acronym of the words Australian Communities Water Awareness Through Art. But then I was impressed by the movie Avatar, its message of integrity and the exposure of humanities disconnection from the planet. The gratitude for the natural elements including all life was strong and clear throughout the movie. Aqua Ta simply means Thanks (Ta) for the Water (Aqua).

Did you know Water originally comes from Outer Space?? Even NASA admits this Fact!! Did you know that human intention or music can change the molecular structure of Water?? Did you know you can see beautiful Water-Crystals when the Water Is exposed to Positive Vibrations, and these amazing Crystals deform and look ugly & terrifying when exposed to negative vibrations??

Bringing country and city communities together to create an awareness through art of the lack of fresh water supplies and what happens to the land as a result of salinity within Australia.
The goal is to create an image of a river made from 60,000 paintings( Inspired by beautiful frozen fresh water crystals) placed on a dry salt lake. ( able to be seen from a jet airlines that often fly over the salt lakes of Lake King and Lake Grace. Smaller jets also fly over the area, taking workers to the Forestonia Mine near Hatters Hill)
The 60,000, 30cmx30cm paintings created by children and all artists from around Australia will be placed down on the dry lake of Lake King in a choreographed manner, by local children representing the flow of life and the flow of fresh water coming out of the salt pans, first as a trickling creek and then larger as a flowing river. These salt lakes are believed to be part of an ancient river system that flowed into the Swan River System from the Lake King area being ultimately attached to the city of Perth.
The finished and moving image in progress will be filmed from the air or from a helicopter or small plane and from ground level.They are then left until the lake dries up leaving them covered in salt crystals, mud etc.
The paintings from the outer edges of the fresh river in their salty and muddy form are then pulled up and placed in a truck to be taken back to Perth city. Children from several chosen schools will place them down in the city walkways as a flowing river of salty water through the city, starting from Forest Chase and either ending as a flow into the Swan River a Barrack St Jetty or off the Narrows Bridge linking it back to the salt lakes.
The idea of this is to bring the salt, the mud, the lake, the land, THE MESSAGE to the passing people. The mud signifies the dry dusty land, the change of fresh water to salty water, the drying up of or evaporation of water, leaving salt crystals and dried mud where it was once beautiful fresh water.
The Message will be on a prominent plaque explaining the significance of the project.The children who are laying the destroyed paintings on the footpaths will be handing out to passers by, information leaflets referring to the land salinity problems and the possible solutions for the farmers.
