Jessica Lee Ives: The Biology of Water

Courthouse Gallery is pleased to present new work by Jessica Lee Ives, who explores the new biology of water through paintings of a lived experience immersed in the light, water, and the magnetism of our natural environment.

“You are not a drop in the ocean

You are the ocean in a drop”

— Rumi

Excerpt by Jessica Lee Ives from the catalog:
“These paintings reflect a lived experience of the new biology of water. The human body is mostly water; in fact, at the cellular level it produces multiple gallons of its own perfect form of water every day. This water, called fourth phase water, is structured in a liquid crystalline form capable of transmitting and receiving information to and from the world beyond our skin. Two years ago, I was introduced to the work of Dr. Gerald Pollack, who discovered the fourth phase of water, and my life as a swimmer, fisher, splasher, and wader was transformed. I dove into the deep end of the pool.”
