Below is a film i made experimenting with milk and water. Above is a still i took after i had left the bowl for a while. It is amazing how it has taken the form of an iris.
This is an extension of what i did with water and in some ways reflects my research which uncovered the hungarian artist who uses sand. I feel it relates to the theme of here and now becuase the guesswork part of it, as soon as you drop some ink it develops in its own unique way given the exact circumstance the here and now. Also you see the work develop. when i tried to direct the ink with the pen i had no control although im sure that the more familiar i become with the process i might develop a degree of control...can we control the here and now?
should i name my work is a question i was asked. some artists refuse to do this because in some ways it anchors the meaning. however if i left it blank it would achieve the same thing.
