My experiments and development of the escaping space have produced some intriguing shapes and forms. I have played with different contents of the frozen spaces, including salt and liquid acrylic as well as ink and water. The effects have been quite different with the salt leaving crystals as the ink and water has evaporated and the solutions that have contained more acrylic have bled less than those with more ink content. Some of the melts have sat and left a solid shape exactly where the cube has been left whilst some have run across the sheet telling a story as they spread. I like how those that have not moved have escaped through the paper and left little trace as to where they have gone. Here are some photos of those that have dried so far:
