Oil and Water--Experimental Work

Several months before the big oil spill, I began experimenting with some imagery of pigmented oil dropped in water. I was amazed by the suggestive forms and shapes that began to appear. In one case, I made a mirror image, which is a gimmick, and something I rarely do, but I was even more amazed--I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Now with the oil spill continuing to gush, these images seem to take on added meaning. What do you think?
