Abstract: Inks of different types are used together to create a radial spread. Then, having been the cause of the spread, the ink also provides the means of visualizing it. Photographic sequences show the progress of the patterns of the spread as they develop. Images are taken from significant points within the sequences, and, bearing in mind aesthetic considerations, are displayed alone or as part of a group.
