“On all of these shores there are echoes of the past and future: of the flow of time, obliterating yet containing all that has gone before; o the sea’s eternal rhythms – the tides, the beat of surf, the pressing river of currents – shaping, changing, dominating, the stream of life, flowing as exorantly as any ocean current, from past to unknown future” – Virginia Woolf

When I speak of fluidity, I am also referring to the idea that what we call “body” is a profound orchestration of many qualities and textures of movement – interpenetrating tones of fertile play waiting to be incubated.

What I see as “body” is the movement of creative flux, waves of fertility. The cosmic play that we carry into this atmosphere still intrinsically pulsates.

We can be seen as a fluid unfolding of an innate intelligence.

The human body has been spiralled from the vortical tendency of living water, an extension of the primordial ocean, appearing separate but maintaining constant resonance. We are in perpetual rapport with all fluid systems, functioning as an undivided whole. – Emily Conrad

AND IN ME TOO A WAVE RISES – Virginia Woolf

I LIVE, I DIE, THE SEA COMES OVER ME, IT’S THE BLUE THAT LASTS – Virginia Woolf
