The Beauty of Ink Splats

I am always observing the way things behave in the natural world. I then take those things and try to simulate them in my video productions. For example, the way paper falls to the ground. I use this idea to make photographs appear to be falling through space. Or the way water moves. It never ceases to inspire me. Anyway, I recently stumbled on the idea of black ink falling and "splatting" onto paper. It is so beautiful and random in the shapes it makes when it hits paper. So I decided to give this look a try in a recent video piece. I am in love with ink splats now. Here is the result. Very interesting.
