Art: ink in water

Artist Pery Burge photographed ink in water.  In the abstract of a paper she published she described the process thus:
Radial spreads are made by placing different types of ink and paint over each other. Then, when gravity 'activates' the spread, causing the ink to move outward, the resulting patterns of ink are photographed.
More of her work can be seen at her site Chronoscapes and in her photostream on Flickr. In an article at WonderHowTo, titled "Creating the Cosmos with Ink, Paint & Water," there is a short description of Pery's photographic process.

In the video below Pery used lines from T.S. Eliot's "Four Quartets."  You can find a full version of Four Quartets at ColdBacon (warning: sudden music).  I found this interesting site -- Pearltrees -- while looking for info on iPB Soundscapes. Here's Pery's video.
