Art show about water

By Madeleine Murray

MURWILLUMBAH ARTIST Andia Cally is fascinated by water. Her show called The Ripple Effect opens at Murwillumbah Small Works Gallery on Friday February 17.

“When the flood waters arrived one year ago and back in 2017, they ravaged houses and the surrounding environments, but they also brought us together as a community,” Andia told The Weekly.

Since then, Andia has been reading about the secret life of water.

“I am fascinated by the work of Dr Masaru Emoto and Veda Austin who have shown that water has its own intelligence and like everything else, is affected by the words, actions and intentions that surround it.

“Water comprises more than 70 per cent of the human body so it is natural to feel the ripple effects of the energetic inputs around us,” she said.

The Ripple Effect is a series of artworks that focus on the flow-on effect of our thoughts, words and deeds on others and the world around us.

The exhibition highlights the importance of our connection with nature, and water in particular, which covers 71 per cent of the earth’s surface.

The pop-up exhibition opening, with drinks and nibbles, is at the Small Works Gallery, Murwillumbah, from 5-7pm on Friday, February 17. The show runs from February 18 to 23.
