A fascinating material, cotton candy (aka fairy floss) is spun sugar coloured with food dye. As it is mostly air the voluminous form decays quickly and the sugar congeals becoming hard with a wrinkled, rock-like solidity. During the process of decay the floss releases a sweet sugary aroma and maintains it bright colour pigment.
I will continue to document this transformation and have identified further applications of the material including time-lapse photography and installation.
