Water is inherently rhythmic in nature and the medium in which life takes form... The meandering and sinuous patterns water weaves enliven and restore its vital properties... The flowform is based in this understanding of water, and reveals this rhythmic quality, which no other technology bestows upon water...

Flowforms have a multitude of Applications and benefits. From landscape and interior design, to agriculture and industrial mixing, flowforms are becoming widely recognized as a powerful and dynamic tool for treating fluids of all kinds. The following description outlines some of the basic philosophy behind the flowform.

The flowform is a unique and remarkable creation, invented by English sculptor John Wilkes in the early seventies. Flowforms are designed on the principle that water is inherently rhythmic in nature. Water continually seeks to move in meandering and sinuous patterns that enable it to cleanse and re-energize itself. The incorporation of oxygen and other vital elements is a crucial process that is at its ideal state in a flowform. It has been observed that pulsation and spiral flow is water’s natural state, and this is transferred into the living organisms it has birthed. The steady coherent rhythm in a flowform is recognized as its distinguishing feature that no other technology bestows upon water.

          

In collaboration with mathematician, George Adams, and flow scientist Theodore Schwenk (author of Sensitive Chaos), John Wilkes helped to demonstrate water’s inner nature. These water pioneers were exploring path-curve surfaces, the mathematical proportions of organic form and development. Growth, metamorphosis, and evolution all derive their patterns from these path-curve surfaces. Organs, bones, organisms, and whole ecosystems are able to maintain a higher state of health and vitality the closer they adhere to their respective “blue-prints”. Water is the medium for these surfaces as it continually strives to flow on a path curve. The question posed was:

“if we could allow water to experience such an ideal (path-curve) surface, would that water then acquire a higher potential to build organically, to support organic life-processes?”

The evidence over the past 30 years of flowform research has demonstrated that there is indeed an increase in water quality when worked with in this way.
