The Water Series explores the ebb and flow of human emotion during sleep. These works are based on the idea that the soul separates from the body during sleep and then returns upon waking. Sleeping human journeys are the ebb and flow of these works. This has been depicted through the fluid and urban human character of the River Thames.                                                                                                                         'Even in sleep there is wakefulness'  (Rumi). 

The Water Series was on loan to Croydon Council for two years and exhibited at the Bernard Wetherill House, 8 Mint Walk, CR0 1EA. 

The Water Series: Water One - Depth and Slumber, Water Two - Finding Joy, Water Three - Orgasm Water and Soul in Transit explore the journey to the sun of the soul through sleep. They reflect on the idea that:

These works oil paitings of the River Thames in London, they examine what may happen in the unknown worlds of sleep. During wakefulness, we are turned towards the world and we experience a material existence.  During sleep we are turned inwards and experience other enigmatic modes of existence.  We lose consciousness of the material world and receive a glimpse of other realms, including fitful and fleeting symbolic indicators (of the state of our souls) in the form of dreams.
