Salina is a monumental, room-filling sculpture by AnneMarie van Splunter, crafted from salt to create an intensely white, undulating landscape. This artwork, a residue of evaporated seawater, invites contemplation on themes of transformation, movement, and the perception of time through its play of light and shadow.
AnneMarie van Splunter presents 'Salina,' a significant sculptural work conceived as a room-filling installation. The sculpture is composed entirely of salt, forming an intensely white, undulating landscape that mimics the residue of evaporated seawater. This monumental piece is built using molds of mirrored modules, drawing parallels with minimalist art, and its material use and flowing forms are designed to stimulate sensory perception and imagination. Originally salt that lay dormant for over 200 million years beneath the earth's surface, it has been transformed into a floor relief. The interplay of light and shadow, creating nuances from bright white to dark grey, gives the impression of weightlessness despite its tonnage. The waves depicted appear to be in slow motion, evoking concepts of coming and going, transformation, displacement, and the shifting nature of time itself. Van Splunter notes that salt has a universal connection for people, allowing the work to generate a rich array of images and stories with universal value. 'Salina' was previously exhibited at Fabriek, Eindhoven, and Zone2Source, Amsterdam, and is presented as part of the Open Call EXODUS project.
