Martin Waugh's Liquid Sculptures:
Quote: "Liquid Sculpture is the process of creating shapes by dropping and splashing water, or other liquids. These sculptures are then photographed, since they last only a few thousandths of a second. Creating and capturing these engaging forms requires careful manipulation of the materials and precise control of the lighting and timing. I mostly use plain, clear water, sometimes with a little soap in it. I have experimented with food coloring, as well, and glycerin to increase the viscosity. Milk is a classic material and still enjoyable (gallery), and oil is very tempting. These sculptures (splashes) come in endless varieties. Their specific natures arise from the timing and position of the drops, exactly when they are photographed, and the qualities of the liquid. The behavior of the liquid is determined by its surface tension, density, and viscosity, as well as other traits I haven't yet explored. Liquid Sculpture images are mostly (though not necessarily) recognizable as liquid splashes, but they also provide engaging metaphors. The forms are as intriguing to the eye as they are provocative to the mind. As such, Liquid Sculpture finds a place as product or company logos, business card and letterhead images, and wall art for lobbies, waiting rooms, restaurants, and the like. All images are offered for sale, either as prints up to 36x48 inches, or as high-resolution digital images. Also, custom images using specified colors, shapes, and backgrounds can be created on a contract basis." (via DaddyD)
