Click in the image for a huge enlargement I N K F L O W In making this work, ink was dropped onto wet polyester film and encouraged to spread. I observed that the ink blobs and their emanating flow patterns appeared like blossoms, and thus found an idea in the word flower, for which an alternative meaning could be 'one who flows', i.e., one who is in their groove. This is a reference to the state of flow defined by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi as an optimal human state, deriving from being so involved with an activity that ego and everything else falls away, and all flows gracefully and naturally. The word flower is captioned to two blobs, while flow-er captions another couple of blobs. The quotation at the base of the work is from Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience, by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi and reads 'Flow: the state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter'.
ABOUT THE ARCHIVAL MEDIA Printed from an Epson 2100 using Epson’s 7-colour UltraChrome ink system at 1440 dpi on Epson acid free watercolour paper, a combination to ensure long lasting quality. Wilhelm Imaging Research (www.wilhelm-research.com), suggest prints using this combination of ink and media will last for over 90 years without appreciable fading , based on indoor display framed under glass. Dark Storage Stability Rating at 73°F/50%RH is indicated to last over 200 years. The detail is super fine at this resolution, being almost 10 times finer than normal commercial printing, so that even under a magnifying glass the prints hold up to very close scrutiny.
