Research: Salt Crystallization
2018 - The well-known technique of salt crystallization is often applied on a cotton string, but can also be used on materials like textile, cardboard and metal. In this way, it is possible to grow three-dimensional structures.
​
The texture of the base makes it easy for the salt to grow in every form made with a mesh, textile or other material. The crystallizing salt hardens the material from within and makes it a firm structure. Due to the difference in density of the fibres, the growing pattern of the salt is different with every material.
