As the salt-drenched water extracted from dried cod slowly departed from the surface of the 3M reflective film, water articulated incremental drawings with chunks of salt and tiny bits of cod it abandoned. Inspired by water’s breathtaking end-result drawing of glistening and loose salty bits, I sprinkled glitter and patterned tiny crystal gems over parts of the surfaces. The provisional state of this work references Tibetan sand drawing, and serves as a reminder of water’s infinite forms and its penchant for transformation.
