Various chemical salts, including ordinary table salt, are mixed into solutions, poured into plastic cups and champagne glasses, and arranged on a glass-enclosed table in a disorderly fashion- not unlike the aftermath of a cocktail party. A thin piece of string is draped over the edge of each container. The solutions are refreshed daily. As the liquid wicks along the strings onto the white tablecloth, it begins to evaporate, forming a crystalline landscape of vivid color that changes slowly over time. Stalactites of table salt hang from above, and rivers of color gradually creep across the miniature landscape forming on the tables surface. Where two kinds of salt meet, new color or patterns of crystal growth may emerge.
