Ink spots

Messing about with ink is great, and it becomes even better if the splashes make you discover things you’d never have found otherwise. A large yellow splash looks like a moonscape, dripping red ink looks like blood, white spots could be stars, and running ink looks like flowing water.
Mark studied the properties of ink by throwing it about, spilling it, using it for stamping, and by letting it run. All this resulted in hundreds of ink stains that were projected as giant animations on the stage. Click here for the design concept.
