Soap bubbles are a staple feature in this blog, so I was excited to see this video on TodayAndTomorrow by Kim Pimmel.

Kim Pimmel has included some more stills of this video on his flickr profile.

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.

When researching the soap bubble photographs of Richard Heeks, I came across another artist specializing in the art of bubbles; Jane Thomas.
Whilst writing this blog, I have come across many artists who have used soap bubbles in their work and each artist has shed some light on the way soap bubbles behave in different situations.
In this video that Jane has uploaded to her Flickr, you can see how soap bubble mixture moves around within a fixed frame.
Jane Thomas' flickr profile has some delightful psychadelic-looking images of soap bubbles that are unique to her own style of processing.
Jane is so interested by the images that soap films create, she has opened a soap films flickr group where members can submit their own pictures of soap films. There are 547 photographs submitted to the group, and each photograph is different.
Jane is also a member of The Physics Classroom flickr group, which is a collection of photographs which relate to The Physics Classroom website. The Physics Classroom website is particularly good for refreshing knowledge on basic physics, but provides a good set of tutorials which could be altered for artistic merit!
