Inspired Design

n this brief I was given the image of a chandelier and after my research and technique experiment I've started designing and these are just a few.
 To create the patterned background I painted the page with black ink before drizzling with thick bleach for my designs to be layered on top. 
What do you think?

Dropping by Alberto Seveso


In my last photography evening class we experimented with dropping ink into water and attempting to photograph the outcomes.

After wards I decided to have a look if any photographers had captured anything similar to our class and I came across Alberto Seveso. Instead of dropping ink into water he drops ink into oil. Due to different consistency of the fluids they don't mixed together like ink and water meaning that the inks almost sculpt themselves as they float in the oil.

When I first saw the images I thought that it was sculpted play-doh rather than ink because of the more compressed quality compared to my results. the oil seems to work much better compared to water. However water is free and for a student free is always the better option.




"Dropping, is the natural evolving of my previous projects using ink and water. This time I tried something different using the oil instead the water and the outcome was amazing! The title is very important to me, because it is a tribute to the master of the dripping technique, Jackson Pollock. I always was a big fan of the chaos theory."
