Here David S. Ware uses the reservoir
metaphor to apply to the performance space:
                                                   http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2002/04/11/derk.DTL#ixzz1uUfdV5gA
    "The space is a great, great part
    of creativity and music making, and
    you must have a connection with
    this space," Ware emphasized. "You
    must. It's like a reservoir of
    creativity. You dip down into the
    reservoir, and you bring back
    treasures. That space is also a
    witness. As the years go on,
    especially if you have some kind of
    formal meditation practice, it
    becomes more and more and more of a
    witness. This witness quality is
    very sacred for me. It's really one             BEANBENDERS
    of the goals of being an artist, to             CELLSPACE
    find your awareness in this witness             ABC_NO_RIO
    condition, where you know the truth
    of the action that you perform."


  So:

  "You dip down into the reservoir,
   and you bring back treasures."


   Which means that the artwork is
   something *other* than water, it's
   like debris buried under the water.
