Industrial Cotton Candy

(Industrial Cotton Candy, 2010-2019, performance for video, 2-channel video, 35 minutes total length)

In this performance for video I used an angle grinder to shave molten threads of sugar off of a gigantic lollipop, collecting the strands on a paper cone for a child who waits for over 30 minutes for his his cotton candy treat. The two channel video is project on acrylic plastic lollipop scultures. A sound artist has enhanced the penetrating audio of the grinder, creating a counterpoint to the sweet image of candy and the candy cloud set.
