About the Art Eric uses a self created technique that employs interactions of colors, paints, inks, and solvents acting kinetically on a horizontal sheet of glass.

Self assembly is a spontaneous and reversible process in which a disordered system of pre-existing components forms an organized structure or pattern as a consequence of specific local interactions among the components themselves, without external direction. When the constitutive components are molecules ( ink components) the process is termed molecular self assembly .
