I stumbled across the artist Pery Burge on Alicia Talikowska's Tumblr page.
Pery Burge takes macro photographs of ink and produces absolutely stunning results.
"I Looked In To The Time Vortex"
"Cellular Cosmos"
"Apples And Bubbles"
"Solar Echoes"
"Marble Bubbles"
"Time Portal"
"Yellow Meander"
The colours and abstract flourishes are visually striking and the artist has added names to the pictures to create a whole new dimension of imagination.
For example, the name "Yellow Meander" turns the marbling ink pattern into a strange, beautifully coloured landscape. Different processes create new formations, similar to formations we see in the natural world.
However, the nature of the process adds another layer of interest, at first glance, these images could be finely layered abstract paintings. However, as these are macro photographs of ink in movement, it is unlikely you will ever get the composition exactly the same, ever again.
Each photograph is a moment, never to be captured exactly as before.
The spirit of experimentation in this way, is something that is very much in keeping with this blog. Artists and scientists are both keen experimenters.
Nice work, Pery!

I am constantly amazed and inspired by the work of the artist Pery Burge, and have previously featured some of her photographs.
However, I have recently come across her Inksplosion videos on Youtube and had to share.
The videos show ink and water reacting towards one another, and the results could be compared to both micro-organisms and cosmic movement.
Pery Burge recognises why this conflicting duality exists within her work, the resemblance comes from the movement of matter from a central point outwards.
The ink travels in streams, which begin to have their own little tributaries.
The title of the second video on this entry is named "So Simple A Beginning" which she has quoted from the final sentence of "The Origin Of Species" by Charles Darwin.
"...from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful..."
I find that quote, a very fitting description for the Inksplosion videos.
