Amalgamation

At INSIGHT:2016, Plume quickly made a name for themselves with their Tabula Rasa project, which combined high-speed photography, moving images and ethereal soundscapes to create surreal, flourishing scenes.

The duo combine juxtaposing skill sets to create their unique ink-in-water pieces. Ernest explains: “It’s a voyeuristic look at the hypnotic behaviour of different coloured paints in water. We’re pushing the boundaries to understand the true potential. The medium is naturally beautiful. We didn’t feel there was a need to weigh it down with a deep and heavy meaning; each viewer takes away their own experience.”
