Martin Waugh’s Liquid Sculpture.

By Alex in Art, Pictures on Sep 12, 2006 at 5:06 pm

Martin wrote on his website:

Liquid Sculpture images are fluids in motion, frozen in time by a flash of light. They are droplets witnessed in mid-splash.

I orchestrate these sculptures by accurately aiming the drops and releasing them with precise timing. As nature takes its course, I photograph the unfolding forms using a digital camera and electronic flash.

I instigate the myriad of shapes by varying the drops’ trajectories and manipulating their physical properties. Color, viscosity, and surface tension are controlled with dye, glycerin, and soap.

    Not terribly original or new. Harold Edgerton did first did this in 1957:

    He doesn’t claim it’s new; in fact, he gives homage and credits the pioneers by name, even the first high-speed photographer in 1851.

    Look at his website and the composition of many of them. It’s not just about the technique; it’s about the artistry – composition, scale, added touches (some humorous) and other aspects that evoke artful images that are serene, playful, funny, odd.
