12 Liquid Sculpture By Martin Waugh

Martin Waugh combines art and science to capture nature’s infinite beauty.

Throughout history, water has calmed the soul, soothed the spirit and healed the wounded. Martin’s free-flowing photography evokes images from rolling, rhythmic oceans to drops of water falling upon a lake, taking one on a spiritual journey bounded only by imagination. Through a mastery of high-speed photography, Martin Waugh freezes time – effectively sculpting water into tangible forms of surprising precision and symmetry—forms that otherwise occur too briefly for the eye to observe. By harnessing the potential of natures fundamental relationships between water, air, gravity, and time, the artist offers us images of astounding aleatoric beauty and grace.
