Spun

As I have been working on a food themed project which i have based around using food as decoration, I began to look at using the food itself as apose to recreating it in drawings.
I decided to look at sugar as a medium to produce an installation. Spun sugar is a highly effective way of decorating desserts and I Aim to produce a decorative piece on a much larger scale. As my work at the moment is looking at pattern and texture in decoration, I would like to create a curtain or hanging from spun sugar. I hope to display this in a window space of an exhibition so that the natural light catches the golden colour of the sugar and highlights the natural and spontanious pattern that the sugar makes as it is spun.
Aswell as the curtain I would also like to make other forms of decoration using spun sugar, such as jewellery, baubles, clothing etc.
