Kirsi Enkovaara‘s Landscape of Gravity:

Landscape of Gravity was inspired by distorted reflections on a surface of water. The phenomenon that enable to capture this almost invisible movement is oil paint floating on top of water. The technique developed to this projects combines this phenomenon and movement of water effected by gravity. All the objects made for the collection are vessels with a hole in the bottom. The vessels are filled with water and topped with oil paint and drained.

After this the vessel is transformed in to a object as the inside of the vessel turn inside out revealing the natural pattern.
