Lets Grown Salt Crystals

To represent the salt flats in the desert, I started to experiment using salt I had brought back from the Atacama. To develop using salt, I experimented with growing salt crystals to represent the salt crystals found in the desert and to incorporate a natural reflection.

After researching techniques on growing salt crystals, I wanted to test them out by dissolving salt in water and leaving it to evaporate in natural sunlight.

Here is fabric and paper placed in salt water with a splash of vinegar, ready to evaporate.
