More Salt In Your Tears first presented as a text sculpture composed of three dimensional stainless steel letter-forms anchored on to a shallow section of seabed of the Baltic Sea near Turku, Finland. The letters combine to form a single phrase – More Salt In Your Tears –  that is visible from the decks of passing ferry-boats, ships and low-flying aircraft. The letter-forms are a set of polished surfaces, gleaming like mirrors as they stand one metre above the water and fifteen meters across the surface of the sea. The words change colour as the sea, sky and sunlight vary over the course of the day. The letters act as an index of the alive, changing surface of the sea, the seasons, and of time itself.

The work writes on water, connects the human body through tears to large natural water bodies, and it draws attention to the ways in which we all respond at a subliminal level to the presence of water. This work continues a preoccupation with the emotional resonances of marine and coastal landscapes that began with Unusually Adrift From the Coastline (2008), which had used the memory of abandoned light-houses to tap into the ineffable quality of our encounters with light, horizons and coastlines by the sea.
