Through my initial research I have discovered that the microstructure of salt is cubic in nature. I like the geometric forms that it creates and have started to draw from the zoomed in images I have found. I have decided to try to create these forms within a textiles context to maybe use as embellishments for my fabric samples. I also visited the Wieliczka Salt Mines in Poland over the summer and noted that the natural growth/ accumulation of the salt seemed to be in clusters and this is something that I want to try to emulate in my work as well.
