- 'Flow visualisation' is really what we are trying to accomplish with our work and Schlieren is only 'one' (& presently our chosen) method that can be used to visualise this.
- for me it is the realisation of these hidden attributes of nature and natural phenomena that exist all around us, and the 'unseen' physics and mathematical wonders of nature that I find very interesting (truly amazing really!!)
- the unpredictable!! (or are they? many patterns in nature may exist as a result of calculable known formulae and principals of physics)
- patterns created in swirling smoke or the way air and water create unseen furls and vortex's in the route it takes as it 'migrates' or 'infuses' with another substance, or progresses on it's natural and eternal journey, or just in the movement of a breath, or a gentle motion or gesture, that although it is taken for granted by all of us
- it is this hidden complexity in an apparent simplicity or 'nothingness' (i.e air, water, atmosphere etc.),
- which is how 'all' life is supported and sustained. Our existence throughout time is based on the ability of the constant interchange of substance and matter
- as the intricate and complex process of the oxygenation of our blood which is then distributed throughout our bodies via our heart, to our vital organs which occurs without us even being conscious of it.
All of this is so much more incredible than is realised.
These apparently simple, yet incomprehensibly complex occurrences are potentially breathtakingly beautiful and I hope that we can capture and convey the immense hidden importance that belies the enigma of the forces of life itself.
Please do not lose sight of this as to me it is the essence of our work.
- this link from the has some amazing and inspiring flow visualisation images.
- Perhaphs we should consider the use of stills and/or film in conjunction with our installation as a medium to convey our message.

By the way - the film on Youtube is very good but please also look at the 'Galleries' tab for a wider range of stills and footage.
