The grid-like patterns of salt pans, or 'Salinas' have dotted the coastlines of the Maltese islands for thousands of years. Still in use today, sea water passes into pools where it is warmed by the sun and slowly starts to evaporate. Salt begins to crystallise, and after about a week it is ready to harvest by hand.
Inspired by the chequerboard patterns created by this centuries old technique, 'Salt Pan' is my interpretation of the organic shapes and shimmering pools often seen when flying over the islands of Malta and Gozo.
The Leaf colourway is suggestive of the hardy, salt-tolerant plants that can be found around the shoreline of the Maltese islands.
