We transferred the effects of osmosis caused by salt onto wood. The surface is glazed monochrome or multi-colour. Salt is spread on the wet surface in different techniques. Soon the natural process is starting. Salt has the talent to absorb liquids from its surrounding- and as well collects the pigments of paint. The results are affected by the kind of salt used, humidity and length of reaction time. A series of experiments shows that big crystals tend to create big rims with strong contrasts, whereas fine crumbs of salt trigger more differentiated patterns with softer gradients. When combined with spruce wood, the salt draws the pigment into the natural flow of the grain, emphasizing the unique features of the original material.
