Salt Crystals 

Research
One of a series of smaller research studies performed in-office, the Salt Crystals exploration asked some hard questions of a process most often associated with an elementary school science class: growing crystals in a saline bath.  By using a variety of armatures made from piano wire, coat hangers, and monofilament fishing line, crystalline structures were tested to see if the brittle salt formations could self-support the geometry of the tensile armatures if the armatures were removed.  A step-by-step guide for the process was created so anyone can follow along at home.
