Vanishing Spirits - The Dried Remains of Single Malt Scotch.
"The idea for this project occurred while putting a used Scotch glass into the dishwasher. I noted a film on the bottom of a glass and when I inspected closer, I noted these fine, lacey lines filling the bottom. What I found through some experimentation is that these patterns and images that you see can be created with the small amount of Single-Malt Scotch left in a glass after most of it has been consumed. The alcohol dries and leaves the sediment in various patterns. It's a little like snowflakes in that every time the Scotch dries, the glass yields different patterns and results." -Ernie Button, photographer
