Back in November , we challenge you to hazard the medium used to createthese middle - catching images . Finnish artist Erno - Erik Raitanan had produced the series by cultivating bacterium samples on color negatively charged film .
Can you think the spiritualist used to create these art pieces ?
At first coup d’oeil , the mental image up top bears a strike resemblance to some of Raitanan ’s “ Bacteriograms , ” but photographerCliff Briggiecreated it using an wholly unlike stage set of media . Can you forecast out what he used ?
Give up ? Instead of bacteria cultures , Briggie opted to immix ice , water , rouge , and spark to create what he ring “ ice paintings ” — macrophotographs of the complex shapes , colour , and textures that arise out of his childlike mixtures .
“ A photograph get a moment too brief to see , ” drop a line Briggie onhis flickr visibility . “ Within the here and now is a flash , coloration , form , or motion — always different , always over-the-top . Little pieces of paint take on a lifetime of their own , of a sudden exploding , colorise swarm everywhere and then they are go evermore . ”
In my mind , one of the most beautiful features of Briggie ’s picture is thevariety of crystalline structuresthat class in the ice — an lesson of which can be reckon in the upper right hand corner of this especial ice house painting . These highly symmetrical shape are build up up free-base on geomorphologic data that begins at the molecular level , and can take on any telephone number of cast count on the term under which the water supply freeze .
