Experimenting with salt.
For this experiment I splashed lots of black ink onto an A2 piece of white paper and then shook salt all over it. In the past I have slightly played with the process, however I didn't know the effect it could add to a piece. It's a wonder to just watch. The salt creates a sand like texture which absorbs the ink and spirals out like crystals. As I was about to start this piece I had a brain wave to glue pieces of string to the paper. Due to the poor quality glue stick, this did not happen. But instead when I washed the paper with ink, I saw this amazing texture appear as the glue separated/pushed the ink away. I am truly fascinated by the effect and just want to keep playing with these materials and adding more into it.
