Before I show you more work from Martin Waugh, an artist I've written about previously, I want to share this awesome video with you about a fountain in Japan that makes art with the water:

Martin Waugh, creates art out of drops of water ("liquid sculptures")through the use of high-speed photography. By varying the size, speed and position of drops, as well as the color, viscosity, and surface tension, a panorama of color, movement and intrigue is created.






Martin juxtaposes colored liquid with vivid backgrounds to create emotional impact and dramatic flair to his work:



Martin says, "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."
