Muybridge Artist Statement

In this project I really wanted to stay true to the images that I saw of Eadweard Muybridges work. I wanted to do a sequence of images that depict movement. I wanted to take a more contemporary approach to the work and choose a different subject matter that would have a more interesting movement. I decided that I would show the movement of two liquids interacting together. I started with a large pitcher of water. I mixed food coloring and milk together and slowly dripped the mixture into the water. I took black and white photos of the process and posted them together in sequence. I wanted the pictures to be in black and white so that the color wouldn't be any sort of focus and that the movement would shine through in the photos.
