A-chan created the images in Salt’n Vinegar in her home in New York and on travels between 2011 and 2013. Continuing her eloquent unassuming reflections on her immediate surroundings, A-chan depicts the unexpected beauty of water streaming from a faucet, a figure skater caught mid-pirouette, street scenes, supermarket shelves and a lone packet of potato chips, which lends its title to this book.

Salt’n Vinegar features both color and black-and-white images, suggesting that the independent threads of A-chan’s colored Vibrant Home and her black-and-white Off Beat, both published by Steidl in 2012, have now found resolution in book form.
