Salt and Art

Canning-Salt 11x9 pastel

 

The Arts Project sent a call for artists out this week, for a juried exhibition called "Salt". Submissions for work inspired by or using salt-based media (ie. Salt painting techniques, etc) will be exhibited in August to coincide with Mark Blagrave’s new book Salt in the Wounds.

I got all excited about this as I have been painting Canadian company series.  I already had one for Sifto salt. Canning is based on salt, sugar and acid as a preservative and I made one for Redpath sugar, too.
