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.

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.
