"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."

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.
