Found this artist through a combination of serendipity and Professional Skills research (proof to show that something good could finally come out of something dreadfully dreary).


These pictures are from a series aptly named 'Aqueous.' Created by simply pouring paint into water and capturing the result on camera - need to be quick as these shapes only maintain their form for a split second before diluting to make a bland looking concoction.


Interpreting these images are like looking at clouds - different people see different things.
The second one down, I see swarms of sperm and the one lucky one looking at the egg yet to be conquered.
The third one down, I can see a jellyfish.



This is what I like most about this, it's such a simple idea, no doubt we've all done similar things with fruit squash and water when we were kids. The results are, dare I say, beautiful.
