Candy Floss Decay

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.

Infinite Variation - Finite System

Vector Image.

Through the use of geometrical primitives such as points, lines, shapes and polygons, an illusion of form is generated, an impossible figure based on mathematical expressions. The isometric grid appears as a field of energy out of which crystallizing structures can emerge.

Prototype: Chewed Gum

A piece of gum I personally chewed, preserved for natural history.

I appreciate gum for its qualities of colour, interactivity, intimacy in use, and its protean descriptions of complex forms. It is an intuitive medium with a fascinating life cycle; packet, wrapper, cubic piece, chewed, discard. Interrupting this cycle by preservation exposes an instant typically overlooked. A unique form is produced and with this I can reflect on areas of uncertainty and infinite possibility.

The Limits of Variation.
The dynamic flux of a rectangular prism of manufactured chemicals, forming patterns through time. The elastic unit, raising entropy, transforms to an exquisitely unique entity.
