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 Honey Ecru colourway is printed onto an unbleached natural linen, mottled by golden tones inspired by the limestone rock which the salt pans are carved into.
