About this ebook
Robin Moore has always been fascinated by water.
It is something so simple and seemingly so small, but it has had an enormous
impact on the lives of everyone—and it will continue to do so.
The book doesn’t explore the science of water, which is vast, complex, and
perplexing. Rather, the author’s aim is to share a portfolio that illustrates how
water has had a profound impact on our lives and emotions.
To achieve his goal, he had to understand the laws of water before
he could successfully demonstrate its impact. His investigation into the way
water flows and moves, and how it creates patterns and shapes our lives, took him
on an interesting journey from the humble drip to the mighty oceans.
Art is about emotion, understanding colour, and observation. By bringing science
and art together, the author calls attention to the magic of water.
