One Small Drop
Eleanor Slorach
I found this idea itself fascinating but I needed some way of portraying an aspect of this complex adaptive system in a painting. I thought the best way would be to paint a water drop as it is a very clear example of a situation when a small change leads to significant effects. The title simply reinforces this idea.
I like the idea of a small change making such a big difference and it applies to many systems: families, communities, companies etc. I just thought this was an ideal way to show such an effect visually, and also how change is just part of nature, it isn’t necessarily a good or a bad thing, just something we adapt to.

“I work for a hospice provider and I am planning to use the theme of “A Single Life Can Make A Difference” in a recruitment campaign this year. What would I need to do to get permission to use the painting ‘One Small Drop’ as a supporting piece of artwork on recruitment posters, business cards, etc? May I have permission to use it if I site the title of the work and the artist? Thank you very much for your response.”

“I find the motif of a small ripple leading to significant effects to be a very compelling concept that is very significant both in medicine and in the real world.”
