Inkings

Photographs taken of ink dropped into a glass of water. In mind notions of ephemerality, transience, impermanence, fugacity - stilled in photographs, thereby held for inspection in a different time frame and acquiring a different meaning to the fleeting moments through which the ink passes. The operations of entropy in time see the ink eventually evenly diluted in the water and all its previous contortions and configurations diffused and erased. These photographs are all that remain. Also in mind Alexander Cozens A Blot, Based on New Method, Plate 10. Verso: A Clumsier Blot. Also Leonardo's images from wall stains etc. http://www.tate.org.uk/context-comment/articles/deliberate-accident-art
