Gunpowder art

I love gunpowder art.  not just because it involves gunpowder either.  I like the fact that it happens it a moment, and it is the effect of that moment that is captured in the art.  a lot of time and preparation goes into the set up and then it's all over in a second.  it's kind of like pottery in a way, because you need to know what things will look like after, like with glazes.  and it's energy caught in a moment, i think thats the biggest draw.  the energy potential in gunpowder is amazing, and combustion in general has brought us to this point in our history.   not that it's a good thin g but it has all the draw of a guilty pleasure.
