Many artist experiment with their medium, but none is so unique and simply beautiful as Martin Waugh’s Liquid Sculptures, which are created from drops of water. The 51 year old Waugh combines the “skill of a computer programmer with the eye of an artist and patients of Job” to capture water droplets as they reach their final destination. The result of experimenting with droplet density, temperature, and size for over 4 years is 20-30,000 photos of exploding droplets each unique in color and shape. My favorites are the “globe” shots, where Waugh has seamlessly captured the world in a drop of water!
