First I built the explosives. Then I fitted them in a glass tube and filled the tube with Rotring india ink, my favorite type of ink.

For each painting I used one to four of these ink bombs. I attached them to a metal sheet or to a strong piece of wood placed on top of the paper, then set them on fire. That way, the works were created within the split second of the explosion.
