The Only Constant is Change, 2021
Wool and cotton, 18.8 x 19.3 cm
The Only Constant is Change shifts with the viewers’ movement and interaction. It is a seemingly impossible built environment that nods to artist M.C. Escher, testing the bounds of perspective, geometry and the mechanics of seeing. Salt works intuitively to direct her process, building on interventions in the tapestry foundation which unfold in unexpected glitches and visual illusions as it develops. The viewer’s eye is bucked from point to point. Creating a charged atmosphere that is both moving and still. A duality indicative of recent times. Caught between certainty and uncertainty, action and restriction. The only constant, change.
