I use liquid color to drip it into a water bowl, whereby the drops spread with the movement of the water created by the water itself. Sometimes I intervene to activate the desired drive in the movement of the water. This process is repated until a composition forms itself on the surface of the water, which I would like to hold on to. The process up to this moment varies a lot in its length. Then for a brief moment I put a piece of paper on the surface of the water so the color imprints itself on the paper. Out of curiosity I currently experiment with the addition of soap water and different kinds of alcohol inks to play a little more around with the materials.
